This is similar to the procedure I use. After the soaking, however,
I run warmish tap water over it to remove any traces of soap. I then
drizzle distilled water over it to remove the calcium in tap water, and
give it a quick immersion in an alcohol bath. I do this, generally, for
keyboards that separate. I don't like the picture of trying to dip an
ADM-3. Slippery little buggers when soapy...
I will use my
normal cleaning procedure of toothbrush and tapwater, and
letting things dry naturally.
Anyone have suggestions for the specific case of semi-dried Coke ?
Well, I cleaned an entire HP Laserjet 4 Plus of some 2 liters of coke.
I could write kilobytes of text, but simple thing: Put everything
submersed into water and a bit of a mild soap. Let it soak for one hour,
take it off and dismantle EVERYTHING in a sunny day. Let it on the sun all
day long to dry. YMMV. This is what I do to my M series keyboards (IBM
Rulez!). BTW, do you know how to clean burnt marks on CRTs?
Let them facing the
sun for one, two or three hours, anything will vanish usually.
Sorry, I can't buy this. Phosphor material is burnt OFF the glass
by "burn-in," and no amount of sun will paint more on it. You must be
talking about something else...
