That type of thing happens when you inadvertently mix an ammonia based cleaner with a chlorine based cleaner.

You? get the same kind of gas that was used on? troops during WW 1.? Ain't good.? Even crap that's marketed to be used as a janitorial product can really screw you up.? I have a permanently damaged set of lungs, courtesy of USPS,

because the floor cleaner they use makes people sick and mixed at high concentrations, it's VERY bad.? Don't ask how I know.? You don't recover from what I have.

This is an important caution below from Kim. I did mix cleaners together for a difficult cleaning. It hurt my lungs and put me in bed for a day. I did recover. I realized I was being poisoned before it permanently damaged me or killed me.

Just a caution here.? Be VERY careful about what you mix together.? It's very easy to poison yourself from a BAD reaction of the chemicals.? Just a heads up for others.? Personally I've always used Dawn dishwashing detergent in my ultrasonic cleaner.? It works just fine.?

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.
