How Do You Clean Vintage Electronic Circuits?
“Hi I’m Larin Parker for Expert Village. We’re talking about cleaning out some of the dust and dirty that builds up in circuit boards. If it’s an older circuit, chances are it’s going to get pretty dirty and there is good way to clean them and a bad way to clean them. The first is just if you open something up like this drum machine, you find a lot of dust or you find some grime. Eventually that grime can sort of lead to problems, especially if it’s in the pin of one of these chips, and the trick is just not to be intimidated by all of the parts here, you don’t have to know how this stuff actually works to give it a good cleaning. I’m just going to dip a Q-tip, if you need to clean a large area you can just use a lint free cloth, but if you did the Q-tip in a little bit of D natured alcohol and just wipe out the areas. It tends to be the best solvents and if I put it over electronic components, it’s not really going to be a problem. I can clean of the semi conductors and leads of thing
