I just got a really nice original 41-841 portable (see September Finds page 4) that has a couple of paint smudges and dots on the material. What's the best way to get them off without damaging the vinyl/cloth covering?

You might want to try GOJO cream hand cleaner, without pumice. It shouldn't hurt the vinyl or cloth. I've used it on tons of different materials. like wood and metal. See if it works...if not, you still have cleaner for when you come out of the garage!

Brad,
Thanks, I used that, but still had to pick off the paint spots. It's all good now.
