Just a quick comment on this perennial topic.
If you clean a Drake in the dishwasher or the sink, you may get a nice
clean old radio.
_or_
You might ruin a nice old radio... but at least it wouldn't take you long!
On the other hand, if you clean it by hand, you'll take longer, but you'll
not likely destroy a nice old radio. As a part of this careful cleaning,
you'll probably learn more about how your radio is laid out, notice the
cracked insulator here and there, the loose wire someone forgot to
reconnect, the scorched resistor that bears investigation and the suspect
looking electrolytic, the missing hardware here and there and perhaps a
loose ground connection here and there.
Of course it won't be fast.... (which is often a very good thing).
