I have an old chassis I'm going to clean up and I was wondering what some of you guys have used to clean up/restore some of the nastier ones you've had to deal with.
It's got a little oxidation, not much, but it needs to come off. I started using a dremel for little rust spots but the stainless steel wire brushes they sell don't get much done before they are spent. I find it pitiful that they're that whimpy.
The tranny covers need to be cleaned/polished/oxidation removed.
40 years of gunk, dust, and crud.
Normally I would leave it be but this amp needs to be restored properly or the rust and buildup on the metal is going to get too severe.
Thoughts? Experience?
Thanks,
six
