REVOX B77 Mk 2

I need to clean up the case on my B77 so I can close it up and it has tobacco tar stuck to it. Does anyone know of a strong cleaner that will not harm the painted textured finish of the case?

Don't use any kind of cleaner. The best way to clean nextel is to put it in the bathtub, apply a generous (but not plenty) amount of shampoo over it and rinse it with the shower using mildly hot water (35~40 degrees Celcius).

Might need to repeat until rinsed water flows clean.

works wonders.

The last time I did that, we had great fun, but my deck didn't respect me in the morning. :D
 
Beans - If you haven't "buttoned up" the B77 yet, I've found that the best way to clean the original Nextel suede coating is to wash it in a dishwasher using hot water, your favorite dishwashing detergent, and only an air dry (NOT a heated drying cycle). This technique seems to help "recondition" the Nextel a bit also - as you probably have noticed, the original Nextel coatings can develop a "sticky" feeling and the dishwasher routine seems to help stabilize this.

If you really want to make an older B77 shine, get the case repainted with a new coating of Nextel - the paint's expensive and you'll need to find a good custom painter, but it sure looks nice.
 
I did some work in the area of the control panel of my B77 and accidentally shorted something, blowing the 800mA fuse. I take it these are the slo-blo type and I'm having trouble finding replacements. I got some 800mA fast-acting but it's blowing those left and right. Does that sound normal or have I goofed up something?
Also, does this look like the right replacement fuse?
