Default Re: Philips B3G63A

O.k - got my capacitors replaced (at last) and had to replace one resistor which was reading more than 20% over.

I've gone through about a million cotton buds trying to get the chassis properly cleaned and tried Servisol Foam Cleaner and Isopropyl Alcohol (not at the same time of course) and the results are very mixed - the majority of the chassis is looking good but other sections are still looking grubby?

Now looking at the top of the chassis, cleaned all the Valves and sprayed all contacts with Servisol Super 10.

I'm now looking at the variable capacitor and wondering how to clean between the fins? Someone on YouTube used a seagull feather (!) but I'm assuming there must be a better way. Is it also advisable to oil the fin bearings??
