Sorry to sort of sideswipe you guys.
Electronics and the internet both, it's a love hate thing.
I have a character flaw; unlike BD, I don't let things go. Every failed repair stacks up, taunting me.
But that's all off topic. This post is mainly for Worsthose, who I hope finds this well.
Quarantine day 30 something...NTSB hangar of the 561, this chassis was filthy

Now that's dedication. But did you consider the Simple Green, hose down, bake option? Would have saved you the effort of the complete rebuild. And what about a set of plug-ins? Going to give them the same treatment? Tearing those down to parts I would think would be a total nightmare. ![Scared :scared:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/scared.gif.pagespeed.ce.oZptHNcbsD.gif)
I used my favorite water solvent, "LA's Totally Awesome!" (I kid you not) and it is.
Had to abort mid scrub actually as I noticed the marking paint was starting to loosen.
It has been drying 3 days now, the first afternoon in unseasonable sun, many days til HV at this rate.
Disassembled almost all the pots. Cal switch soaked in vinegar for a good bit, also the illum lamps/sockets, one of which came apart destructively. I have a line on some replacement bulbs onforum.
Way I figure it, no way I can process this pile of plugins without a good working frame.
In some ways, I think, I might be more suited for this world than the one we just left.
