I agree Chad. Not mentioned in my above post: the procedure is an outdoor event, and I use an electric leaf blower to dry the chassis and remove areas of 'microscopic' moisture.
Once the chassis is back on the bench, the time consuming cleaning with a toothbrush, paper towels, and a solvent is next, anything from Windex to a vinegar-based kitchen cleaner I bought years ago.
Don't know if it's still in stock (64-4345), but Radio Shack electronics cleaner with a built-in brush does a fine job for me.
Here's a before/after picture of a water-cleaned 1951 color-ready Admiral -- no more dust and cobwebs. Check the 1956 Philco TV-123 color chassis after its thorough water cleaning, degreasing, and polishing. Love it when the tube shields shine up like that.
