Cleaning Dusty mixing boards .. ?
I can use some help from my analog brothas, . . .I was wondering what the best method for cleaning an older early 80's type mixing board , . . ???
I was planning on using one of those mini computer vacuum cleaners for the XLR, phono plugs, and hard to reach crevices. . then follow that with some DeoxIT Power Booster to clean any buildup in the plugs, and any scratchy pots . . .then lube and clean the faders with some CaiLube MCL.
But, I'm wondering what should I clean the actual surface of the board in between the pots and faders . . .should it be cleaned with lint-free cloth and some electronic cleaner spray, . or should I use some kind of lint-free moistened wipes made for electronics, . .
I'm curious what the bets way is to go about this, . .what what others have dome to clean up their dusty mixing boards. Thanks fellas, . . !
