Hey Steve,
How long and at what temp? I would worry about getting water in the IF
cans etc. Does it just bake out? ?
Thanks,
Bob K6GGO
Never leave the PTO, meter or any other plastics like that on the rig
when baking.
I always remove the PTO, meter, front panel and, of course all knobs
and tubes. It's basically a stripped chassis when it gets its wash
and dry. Never submerge - only wash with brushes and detergent, rinse
thoroughly with the sink sprayer above and below, then pour distilled
water over it.
I take the rigs out to the shed before the oven for an encounter with
an air gun. That will remove most of the water.
Yes, you have to re-oil everything when you're done and on the A and B
receivers I also recommend removing the PBT coil carriage after
cleaning to clean the dried-out grease from the assembly.
The equipment looks and smells much better and runs cooler. After 40
- 50 years, even a clean-looking chassis is hiding a lot of dirt.
