I came across this little gem yesterday and need some advice on "cleaning" it. Now when I say cleaning I don't mean that the pots are a bit dusty... no - this thing appears to have spent it's 30 years of life on the edge (or partially in) a swamp and the resident frog population had a 3 pack a day habit!
It's BAD
I've read that the PC guys will sometimes take the really bad motherboards and literally spray them down with Mean Green cleaner and then do a hot water spray rinse letting them air dry in front of a fan overnight.
This baby looks like it needs to go through the pots & pans cycle of the dishwasher.
Here's the thing... IT WORKS. I was picking up faint FM but I don't really have a good antenna. CD in to the Tape 2, Tape Mon, Aux sounded very nice. Vol pot was a little scratchy but not what I would have expected. Tone was warm and rich.
I'd like to clean it but understand I'm not talking about "restoration". However with the exception of a pretty nice scratch under the headphone jack the case is in good shape and is cleaning up nicely.
