I recently started the process of bringing my old IMSAI back to the land of the living; it's been packed away for about 10 years, and while it is still functional, the front panel (which never was too stable to begin with) is showing some signs of dirty connections, such as LEDs that flicker if the panel is bumped, unpredictable response to some address switches, etc. I would like to give it a good cleaning, and was wondering what I should use. I didn't know if something like "tuner wash" would be bad for the connectors, PC board, plastic IC sockets, silk screening, solder mask, etc. I considered rubbing alcohol, but I don't know what the effect of that would be either. I checked the FAQs that I know of, and about all I came up with was someone's technique of "giving the circuit board a good scrubbing" with dish soap and swinging it on the end of a string to dry it. As this technique strikes me as possibly dangerous, to myself, the boards, and passers-by, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. :^) -Bill Richman bill_r(a)inetnebr.com http://incolor.inetnebr.com/bill_r ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "When they took the fourth amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs.
