I've washed quite a few chassis now with soap and water and so far it hasn't hurt any of them, things like paper Filter covers and labels have to be removed first but most everything else is metal, plastic or coated with Shellac.

Thanks for the tip. I've been using a similar product called Spray 9. It works as well or better than 409 and smells nicer Just like in my Holiday, the wires have gone all gooey from age. The Spray 9 works OK on that but paint thinner is even better.

Thanks. I see they have a few other items I need for other projects too
