    Re: solvent cleaners

    For Sharp primaries I have had success with cleaning the metal housings with glass cleaner.

    For the grid, I'll lay down two sheets of clean paper, and lay the grid on top. I'll use a toothbrush and glass cleaner, brushing in the direction of the fine threads of the grid, both sides. I'll dry it with a fine weave towel, wiping in the direction of those fine threads again. If it's not clean I'll repeat until it is, then with a clean dry toothbrush brush away any fuzzies, both sides.

    For the sawtooth I'll use a Q-tip with just a little glass cleaner, then brush away any fuzzies with the clean dry toothbrush.

    I must confess I don't miss scorotrons much, squinting at the damn thing trying to get every microscopic bit of lint. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      my 2 cents:
      Burned toner with aceton, if it really nasty then Super Kromofag (paint stripper)
      For rubber stuff there is Protegum, better than anything I used.
      General stuff with window cleaner or tehnical alcohol (90% proof)
      Sensitive stuff, like LEDs, with isopropyl alcohol.

        I felt only alcohol worked,

        and soap I tried, no matter use,

        don't know why.
