Hi My PDP-8/A is up for restoration. More specifically and 8A100 according to it's ID plate. It is in overall "ok" shape but oh so dusty.
I'd like to give it a good cleaning so I'm tearing it down. And I'm looking for suggestion to cleaning the backplane and regulator board. I'm considering putting the Omnibus part under warm water and perhaps a bit of mild detergent. Should I get distilled water or will tap do? The water here is not very "hard" The regulator backplane has a relay and a button which will never dry out if I soak it... Thanks in advance, Pontus.
