Rusty Tuning Condenser
#6

Give the tuner a good wash in Dawn and hot water. Then set tuner in a plastic container and cover with vinegar let soak until rust is gone may need to have a old tooth brush handy. Then mix baking soda and water together lots of baking soda. Place tuner in solution for 10 minutes and then rinse and dry. hair dryer works wonders. Spray with something of your choice to prevent rerusting. Like WD 40 or a clear coat.

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM

Thanks guys. I think I'll give the Naval Jelly a try since I can better control where it goes.dconant — 09:23 AM

Just forget this number, it is useless anyway. Simply proceed with your project.morzh — 10:08 PM

My $0.02 is that it is a misprint. I tried to look up the value for the similar 84 and 37-84, and ther is no resistance...MrFixr55 — 09:51 PM
