Cosley ?

Phil You may have seen my past postings on washing jukebox parts with
Westleys .
I started with amp and selection chassis in those that led me to try it
on radios .

This particular chassis was in great shape with no rust . I have no idea
how it stayed so untarnished while looking at the condition of that
cabinet ??? Maybe the smell of that trany tar coating kept mice away ?
From what i saw this radio sat on an old damp basement floor for years
& years . It came out real clean .

Many chassis i have washed didnt look this good because of tarnish or
rust . I wont go to this washing extreme unless i have to . Very
important is blowing the stuff dry directly after the washing .
An old vaccuum with the hose stuck in its output and a flat tool creates
warm forced air for this .

Westleys can be a bit hard on some selected wire simply because it can
fade the color insulation . It usually always fades out old wax caps but
those get replaced . Once & a while it will turn some IF can coil wax
light gray , a gentle heat gun will usually restore that if you need .
I would use 409 but it takes 5 times as long ...but.. its gentler .

Different chassis act different to this extreme treatment .
