[R-390] Wiring harness removal and cleaning

Grayson,

check the broadcasters.  If they have a water cooled transmitter, there is a possibility they have a water distiller. 

Kind of depends on the transmitter, of course, as some of the solid state transmitters are water cooled, but the purity requirements might not be nearly as high as a tube type transmitter.

Thanks guys for the info.  I think I will avoid the WD-40.  I remember it leaves a bit of a residue.
My problem over here in the boonies, is I can’t find any distilled water. No one seems to know where to get it.  Tap water isn’t too bad.  The bottled drinking water actually has more desolved minerals (I did an evaporation test).
So anytime I wash, I try to blow all the water off before it dries.  (the blowing is me through a hose).

I photographed everything as I took it apart, easy nowadays.
