Well I'm starting the tear down on my R-390. I've read Medley's page
http://www.r-390.com/ I read that he basically strips out the individual
modules and gets everything down to the bare chassis. Then he uses 409
and tap water to clean everything, then a good flush with distilled
water and then a good drying...not in my oven, but near the wood stove.
The exception is the RF deck gears get squirted well with WD-40 then the
409, then back in with a good lubing.
Is it OK to get everything wet like that?
I'm going to take lots of pictures, video and notes. I recently
re-stored a S-76 and after I was done, my wife reminded me I should of
taken pictures, because the before and after looked so nice.
