409 or Simply Green have worked for me in the past. If you're concerned they
might remove more than the tar, try dishwashing liquid like Dawn.

VE3ES <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I recently took possession of several radios from the estate of a
deceased ham radio op.
While the highlight of the pile of loot was a Drake low pass filter,
there were a number of rice boxes (IC-726, TS-450S and DX-70TH).
The previous owner was a smoker and the radios all smell of
such. Some were longer in his possession than others which means the
layer of nicotine is thicker than the new items. These are the first
nicotine-soaked-rice-boxes (or anything for that matter) that I have
ever had in my possession.
The question is.....any idea on how to clean this stuff? The smell
of smoke is quite noticeable. A quick cleaning with a j-cloth and
water cleaned off a layer of dust and some of the easier to clean yellowing.
Again.......anybody have any thoughts on how to clean these
things? Several other items such as some MFJ tuners, etc....
