[QuadList] A little dirt-don't always hurt-If...

[Ted Langdell]

I had to do do a wash job on a Crosspoint Latch 6112 switcher chassis that got coffee with C&S into it while pulled out of the rack and on.

Worked fine after a trip to the mini-kitchen sink and overnight in the dishdrainer.

I've told the story about reading the 1964-ish BE or BM/E article outlining how NBC New York used to pull gear out of service, remove tubes, etc., give it a good sudsing and a rinse, then dry it in a modified hose dryer.  Put the tubes back in, tweak on the bench and back into service.

I'd like to find that magazine again.
