Cleaning...

[simplesi]

Ok, what's the best way to clean the inside of a cab (apart from a good vacuum)? Can I use meths or a watered down vinegar to clean dirt and crud off wires and larger compnents? Toothbrush?

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Si

Vacuum, then iso-propyl alcohol as a universal solvent for anything nasty you'll find. You can get a couple of litres at Maplin and it obviously leaves no residue which is a lot easier than water. I know you mention the inside of a cab, so that should be safe but it's worth keeping decent solvents away from unprotected artwork etc just in case the inks used an alcohol solvent.

Don't want to wipe the sides of the cabs and have the sideart come off too

So I could use this stuff on ribbon cables, wires, etc? It won't dissolve the plastic?

Good note on the artwork... won't want to spoil the nice vinyl Space Invaders.

Iso-propyl alcohol is safe for anything I can think you'd find in the cab (art excepted obviously) and I've had no problems in years of using it as a general solvent.
