[sdiy] Ultrasonic cleaners and key grease - opinions sought!

[Mike HEQX]

When I was with Grumman we used ultrasonic baths for cleaning large 
boards of mixed components. We threw entire keyboard guts in ( the 
computer kind of course ) and within 15 minutes you virtually had a 
brand new unit. They were large and very powerful units of course. ( 
government work )
