<< < (2/2)

thank you both, as it is diodes and no `bare` electricle parts, could it be placed in an ultrasonic bath to clean, then placed in a bag of rice to dry completly, and laquered (all after test to make sure its all working?
thank you again.

deltarider:
It doesn't require any cleaning. You can test its diodes, but if it does what it is supposed to do, why bother?

It has the `Green` copper contamination, like rust on steel, I think it should either be nuetralised, or cleaned? my option would be to clean it all off so it does not `creep` over time and as Dave advised, laquer to protect afterwards? just my thoughts as I am going through all the electrics now and changing parts like bullit and terminal block connectors while trying to sort out other electricle `add ons` that should not be there :-) thank you for your comment.

Bryanj:
Carefull with laquer, it does get hot

neat street:
Thanks Brian, not sure if it works yet, has alot of the green corosion which is afecting the terminals, think I will try the sonic clean first and see how I go.
