   Did you just
tell me to put CIRCUIT BOARDS in the *DISHWASHER*?  Or
 do I still have a fever and am delirious.. ? 
   I've never been able to bring myself to do that myself, but I know
of several people who swear by that method.

I usually dip the boards in a mild solution of "Simple Green", wash with a 
soft paint brush, then rinse with warm water. Just stand 'em on edge to 
drain or blow-dry with a hair dryer. They come out looking like new and seem 
to work just fine.

I found a TRS MODEL 16 that had been in a chicken coop for 5 or 6 years. Let 
me tell ya, that sucker was nasty. Sprayed it down with the solution, rinsed 
with a garden hose, plugged it in. Works just fine and it has a clean 
"Citrus" smell to it.

NOTE: I did have to relube the moving parts in the floppies but, that's all.
