I have been working on the Butterfly model 45, just got the chassis running. I decided to mount the electrolytics underneath versus refreshing since the cans were in great shape and I wanted the top side to look original. I still need to do a full cleaning on the chassis, and I just started stripping the cabinet. Anyone want to share their best-practices for cleaning grime and polishing the chassis?

Craftsmanship is an ongoing cycle of learning fueled by patience, persistence, and care, where every project refines our judgment and challenges our skills, in the steady pursuit of the Path to Mastery.
