UPDATE: I successfully washed a FM tuner. It came out great and works superb! Only caution I took was to dry all the coils and capacitors very well.
Pardon my french. I'm scared shitless but I'm going to try it.
I respectfully just can't agree with this deep cleaning thing.
makes me cringe. and oily turpentine ? eeeuew.
Just did this with my old Yamaha A-520. The left speaker on the A channel was out and the right speaker on the B channel went in and out all the time. After a good scrubbing she performs like new. No problems whatsoever. Thanks for the tutorial! :thmbsp: You have made one happy listener
Wow... this is an amazing tutorial! But the idea of putting a PCB with all its components soldered in place into a tub of water just gives me the shudders. My thought would be to use a moist soft bristle brush to give the PCB a good cleaning, with minimal water exposure. It wouldn't come out showroom clean, but far better than it would have been previously. I do have a very dusty receiver with that "stuck on dust" condition (won't just blow off with an air can). Looks like I may have to give this a try!
Oi Ghostie,
Great tutorial. Could not fault it in any way and glad that some stuff rubbed off when you were here. Sharing like you do is a very special quality, never give up!:thmbsp:
Can this cleaning process be used on tube amps and tuners?
I know not to get transformers wet.
I can not believe how dirty and dusty amps, receivers and tv's become inside.
Thanks
Wow -
Just Answered teh question I had - I will have to try it!
