Scary Snake Radio "Setting Up" President Lincoln II V3

I’ve got a hot water pressure washer. So I think I’ll start cleaning mine at 180 degrees and use wheel acid to clean them out. Whatever gets left behind on the solder side, I’ll use a wire brush on a bench grinder to get that pesky crap off.

Anything left after all that and I’ll just scrape it off with a blunt screwdriver.

Top that Snakey!

why not use the big hand grinder with 8 inch grinding disc n make a 1 quick pass n POW sparkling clean no nothing but board?
 
1) I don’t own one

2) I hadn’t thought of it

3) BRB... going to harbor freight
yaaay they are having holiday sales too,make sure n pickup extra grinding discs.
Ps get the extra coarse fast cutting discs. No need to waste time haha HAHA
 
Heck yeah, time is money and money is time. I was just thinking about how to fix those pesky antenna connectors from coming loose... crank up my mig welder!!

I’m in business now and cooking with gas, all these ideas flowing.

We can design one out of Delrin and that should be pretty good. Weld the knobs on, the covers...make it golden proof. No screwdrivers allowed.

Hahaha!! Oh ye of little faith. You clean’um up real good with some hot high pressure, tune’um up real nice and fine, weld’um shut so nobody can get inside and see all your secrets!!

Tough stains and stubborn solder blobs won’t be a match for that side grinder!

First candidate will be removing the name off this jewel :
