 has a good 10-15 years worth of dust and dirt on it.
 Any suggestions/tips for cleaning and reassembling older equipment?
 Is there a FAQ anywhere?  I know Dave M. mentioned using some kind of
 alcohol to clean backplane slots on his -8E... 
  I had to use alcohol to dissolve the goo that 30-year-old insulative
foam turns into when touched.  You likely won't need that for Qbus
stuff.  For the first step I would suggest compressed air.  Then use a
clean paint brush (I have one that I keep around just for dusting
things off).  On the metal and plastic surfaces I tend to use glass
cleaner.  Some people look at me funny when I do that, but it works
very well.
