I'm sure you're right, but the JX-26 I restored last year has handles,
and they appear to be original. The one I just got has holes in
exactly the same place, and sure look like they were there
originally. Is there a chance that some versions had them but
most didn't?

I have a JX-26 (R-274C) with handles. It is the only one of the 5 or 6
of these that I have with handles. I don't think they were add-ons, they
appear to have always been there.

Don't spray chlorine bleach on fresh urine.. the resulting gas is NASTY...

Chlorine + ammonia = ammonium chloride (possibly other nasty stuff). Bleach
bottles usually have a warning about mixing bleach with other cleaning
agents, in particular those containing ammonia.

Click here.... this stuff works to kill mouse odors
http://www.xocorp.com/


There is a product called X-O .... like for X it Out if you will..
janitor supply places have it... this stuff you just spritz it onto
chassis and wood and anyplace else that has mouse pee on it and the stuff
neutralizes the smell completely...

Maybe it was covered and I missed it - any ideas for "roach" droppings,
etc.? I've used "commercial" "relay" cleaners with "some" success, but there
is still that DISGUSTING residue. Fortunately, I've not had a lot of radios
like that, but even two or three is too many.

Must be popular out here. Gateway Computers service center in
Manhattan Beach, CA had an ENORMOUS sign on the wall near the
service counter. "If your computer has roaches inside, you WILL
be billed the FULL amount to de-infest this building."

Well, as some comedian often says - "There's your sign!" I guess it is
fitting....... I think I've only dealt with one mouse/rat issue. Actually,
if I had my choice, I'd take the mouse/rat.

Like I said, I've used commercial relay cleaners with some success but it
doesn't clean it all out. Thought maybe someone had other ideas!

Close but not quite. Ammonium chloride is a fairly harmless and
non-volatile salt. I suppose that could be an ultimate product, but
not the major problem.

Bleach + ammonia -- CHLORINE GAS which will indeed ruin your day.
This could be the same reaction a previous poster mentioned about
putting bleach on pee - if the pee has broken down to ammonia OR there
are nitrogen compounds in the pee that react similarly, you could get
chlorine gas from that too.

Had a Zenith console that was moused, I used some kind of cheap dollar
store lavender flavored cleaner spray on it just to get the dirt off
before going after the smell. Now whenever I use that stuff, I have a
nausea reminiscent of the mouse pee. Turns out much of what I was
smelling was the cheap perfume in the cleaning product, blended with
pee. That product is now forever associated with mouse pee in my
olfactory memory.

Another funny story: I do some volunteer work in a barely-occupied
warehouse, and the bathrooms hadn't been used forever. One night I
poured sudsy ammonia in the urinals to let them soak. Next day
another volunteer decides to go in there with a bottle of bleach! :-o
He was not a happy man when the green chlorine fumes started wafting
up.

I knew there was something else nasty in there (really!), but I just
couldn't remember. Thanks for the correction.
