WOW! This is the largest forum post I've ever had!!
You know, there must be somthing about this town; somthing magical in the air
. Like, every set I've ever brought home has had a fantastic chassis, regardless of the condition of the cabinet. I cleaned off a similar looking Admiral 19G1 (for sale, mind you) that came out the exact same way. I'll fill you guys in on how the other two sets come out (yet ot be cleaned) but they look pretty good even now!
I swear, all I used was some generic distilled water and some paper towels, nothing else. I considdered using some noxon 7, but was worried about how the ammonia would affect the lytic cans.
I'm still pretty confused about the HO tube discussion, remember, I've onl been doing this for about 2 years, and I've never actually powered up a 50's set. I've only done actual work on 60's b&w sets that didnt need much work.
So how does the whole HO thing play out again, im sorry
Here are some more pics of the moto, and i'll take a smaller format pic of the admiral soon
