[R-390] Simple Green Precision Cleaner

[Tisha Hayes]

Perry,
Thanks for the firsthand report on the super-version of Simple Green. It
sounds like it is worth picking up a gallon and leaving the regular Simple
Green stashed under the kitchen sink for more pedestrian home cleaning
activities. I have a few radios I need to de-grunge including that SP-200
that I picked up at the Huntsville show. (it is "still" in the trunk of my
car).

Even though it is pretty chilly outside I can do a radio cleaning inside
with scalding hot water and simple green, a rinse with boiling hot
distilled/ deionized water and then stick the radio on the porch railing to
dry out for a day or so before giving it the 140 degree convection oven
treatment in the kitchen.

I am only working on individual modules right now, IF decks, audio decks
and one really grungy RF deck so it is not as if I will be hefting an 80
pound radio from room to room. Your collection practically requires a
factory assembly line to go through all of the gear you have collected. I
hope you are working on your hybrid 390's with the non A IF decks.

Mostly I have been distracted by the restoration of a couple of Racal
6790's and a Watkins Johnson 8718A. I have to admit that the siren's song
of how the 8718A sounds has been attempting to lure me into brand
disloyalty. I give myself periodic shocks with B+ to drive away those
tempting thoughts as there are no warm little filaments to heat up my radio
room.
