I want to clean the dirt and grime from my 16 pill? But don't want to use anything that's going to harm the parts or the lettering.
 

Evening Dave,
Just looked It up. I sure hope for 26.00 a can this stuff works. Thank you for the help and tip.
 
I hear you. I happen to have 16 pill skullcracka all org amplifier. I want to ether trade for a steel tube amp or sale It. So I was trying to clean her up not that she Is all that dirty lol. Just want you to know I appreciate the help for sure.
 
What do you mean by dirty? Some really good vintage tube transceiver repair places I know use steam from a home steam cleaner and regular cleaners like 409, Simply Green etc...You find all kinds of industrial cleaners being used by different repair places. I just use Industrial Alcohol for most of my cleaning and a paint brush if it is just routine dirt and dust.

Once you have it clean if you know it is operating right and you do not plane on blowing parts once a month consider using a good conformal coating to protect it from the environment.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
