I might be concerned about putting carbon comp resistors in the dishwasher as they are
hygroscopic.
From an Ohmite datasheet: https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/303/res_od_of_oa-180619.pdf
"Carbon composition resistors are highly hygroscopic and
changes in resistance value can occur if too much moisture is
absorbed. For this reason, it is recommended not to use water
or water-soluble solvents to clean these components. Alcohol
or hydrocarbon solvents are recommended for rinsing."

Pete,
Did the 8E have core or solid state memory?

I’ve been eying the dishwasher, for the subset of
flip chips that
that
are just DIP logic, carbon comp resistors, and ceramic bypass caps,
anyway. But I haven’t been brave enough to try that yet... Most of the
logic here has date codes to ’68 or ’69, so I’m inclined to treat it
gently. Any suggestions for approaches to clean this up?
I've used the dishwasher on a collection of PDP-8/E boards with success.
Avoid the hot drying cycle, and don't use a harsh dishwasher
detergent; some are quite caustic.
