Latest photo of the chassis as I am removing and cleaning each individual
assembly.
Just took the top bread slicer out and I have a seperate plastic container I
will fill with the Fan-monia
and let it soak in there a while, then I pick it up and shake it around so
the stuff bubbles and does further cleaning,
and repeat. Seems to loosen alot of not all the niccotine sludge.
I had to suppliment the Fantastick with some stuff Wallmart sells called
Purple Power, seems to be a general purpose
degreaser but sold in a larger container.
Along the way I found a doorknob cap had broke or maybe been defective from
the factory and will have to order a new one.
I know from past experience niccotine is EXTEMELY ignitable and with this
amp delivering 1500W RF power with
I believe 2800VDC as the plate supply, the fact its everywhere left me no
choice but to be as picky as possible
to get 95% or more of the amp clean.
The blower fan is still in there and its loaded with the stuff.
