[R-390] Cleaning

[Jerry Kincade]

I definitely qualify as an old salt, Pete - retired from the Navy 22 years
ago. Heck, I've probably wrung more salt water out of my socks than most
people have sailed over, as the old saying goes. EPA rules do make a
difference, I guess. They stocked 1,1,1 Trichloroethane in five gallon cans
on my first ship. Nobody knew any better, they thought it was a safe
alternative to carbon tetrachloride as a cleaning solvent. Ha.

BTW, I fixed my Line Level meter. It was easy to open (it's not one of the
glowing types). The problem was an open 1180 ohm wire wound resistor.
Bridged it with a 1200 ohm 1/8 watt carbon film type, works fine now. It's
probably not perfectly calibrated any more, but it probably wasn't perfect
before. Besides, it's just a VU meter. Thanks for the offer of help on it.
