Hi folks,
There's been a post on another list in the last cupla days re: a
"different" Simple Green, reported to be more user & radio friendly than
the regular stuff. The part number for a one gallon container is 13406
and a google search under "Simple Green" 13406 will yield many hits on
suppliers. I see that thru Amazon, a gal. can be del'd for less that
$30, and that'll keep most of us busy for a cupla yrs.
I quote from a satisfied BA'type, R-390A's, user here:
--------------------------
"The Extreme Aircraft and Precision cleaner is entirely different.
First it is clear. When using it it is very similar to 409 but with
some significant advantages. Although the directions give information
for diluting, if you wish, I used it without dilution.
First of all, it removed dirty film that 409 couldn’t clean. Secondly
it is not as allergic if one gets a sniff of it while spraying. It
still needs the elbow grease and you may need to do a surface several
times before all the grime comes off. I didn’t wear gloves when using
it and after rinsing and drying my hands they seemed normal with no
dryness."
--------------------
I have't tried it yet, and haven't used Simple Green, but have used 409
and Srubbing Bubbles sparingly. Scrub B's has been reported by a
chemist-type to be non-ionic and safe. Not sure abt 409. I do use
plain water and hand dishwashing liquid soap mostly, applied carefully
with a paint brush, and reserve the rest for bad problems. Rinse
anything/everything well with distilled water.

I've been swearing by Simple Green. The Scrubbing Bubbles might be a winner,
as it has an alcohol base - which can dissolve some things that water can't.
BTW, for the PTO I steer clear of washing (except for the vernier) and clean
out the bearing races and worm-screw with IPA and Q-tips, followed by a re-lube
of the ball bearings with 3-in-1 oil and the worm and concentric shaft with Rem
Oil.
Use only mild soap on the frequency vernier! You should rinse the vernier it
with distilled water when done and pat dry with a paper towel. For grungy
C-Line and SPR-4 dual verniers, I suspect you'll have to disassemble them from
the shaft if they're dirty to prevent gunk from getting between the two discs.
And, of course, never grease any Nylon gears!
