How do you clean your vintage computers?

[dwight]

It really depends on what and where.

I use orange oil hand cleaners for cases.

If just dusting, a hair paint brush and vacuum.

I treat the brush first with a dilute dish soap

and let it dry. This keeps it from generating static.

I accidentially damaged video ram on an arcade board vacuming it out.
Was using normal shop vacume cleaner in winter in a warehouse.

Not sure what would work better. There are the cans of chemicals, normal
garage air compressors, or scuba tank used for diving which is filled with
very dry clean air?
