Default Re: Degreaser for cigarette tar removal

I’ve worked on many jukebox refurbishments over the years and have found that Flash liquid diluted 1 part to 3 parts water and sprayed on from a hand spray and maybe brushed in with a paint brush, leave a few minutes and wash off with water cleans away years of nicotine easily. Some parts have had 50+ years of nicotine applied in pubs and clubs. Also used to clean all parts in amplifiers. Just protect the entry points to transformers and coils and leave to dry in a warm place. Blu-tac works well to bung up holes that cables go through into transformers. I sometimes use a hairdryer on a cool setting to help drive out the water to help drying.
