* non-lint swabs for cleaning hard disk heads.
I've googled a
bunch of likely suspects, intended for the electronics industry,
of appropriate size, but does anyone use such a thing you've found
to be suitable, before I leap into the terrifying unknown (all of
$9.95's worth)? Obviiously to be dunked in 99% isopropyl.
We used Texwipe products for cleaning tape heads, the platter chambers
of removable drives, etc. in the mid-late 80's. Not sure we ever
actually used them on disk heads. They make swabs on sticks, as well
as wipes, a kazillion variations.
* "Rotron Filtercoat". Sticky aerosol goo
you spray onto aluminum
mesh filters to trap dust. My lab is really dusty. The rack has a
nice airbox at the bottom with noisy fan. Any suggestions as to a
replacement for this long-lost product or workalike?
We occasionally used Endust for this kind of thing.
