Dishwashers work swell on carbureators, but not so pretty good on radios.

You got that right Tom!
Somebody sent me an email recently with an axiom
that went, "Bad decisions make good stories." I
have one about radio cabinets and dishwashers.
In the spirit of the definition of insanity being
repeating the same failed behavior with the
expectation of a different outcome, I have washed
TWO Heathkit cabinets in my dishwasher. The
first was DX-35 cabinet and the second was an
SB-610 station monitor. What happened in both
cases was that the paint fell off in sheets that
I was able to pick up like it was paper. Heath
obviously had just sprayed the bare metal without
priming it and left it at that. I guess the idea
was to make it look good in the showroom, but after that, who cares?
That said, I've been cleaning stuff in the
dishwasher for years, generally with the desired
result. However, I'd suggest not doing that with painted items.
