Thanks to everyone who offered advice; something I was thinking
was to use warm water, and some dishwashing liquid. Does that
seem safe?
I used to use something similar when I worked for FLUKE-- we'd
use water with like a mild detergent. But then, these boards
were specifically manufactured to be cleaned this way.
I'll leave the corestacks alone (well, I'll use a soft brush to
remove the dust from the *outside* of the 'sandwich').
Thanks again, guys.

Allison keeps mentioning putting them in the
dishwasher...
I'm somewhat hesitant to do so. But she's had good luck
with doing it...
That kind of scares me also. I've had good luck with Mac's with a sink, mild detergent, and a rather large food
dryer.
The PDP-8f boards (except core and FP) were cleaned in the dish
washer.
All that needs to be done is put them in like plates and use the
standard
dishwasher soap remove before the dry cycle (too warm) and dry in a
160-170 degree Farenheight oven. A little air to get water from
under
chips is not a bad thing. High pressure air can be deadly as some
boards
may have jumpers and ECO wire that can easily be bown off with
120psi air!
Same for scrubbing as solvents like Isopropanal will swell some
plastics
used then and the tooth brush may remove part numbers you may later
need
to read.
