Vintage Synth Repair

I DO hope that some of our younger enthusiasts will take this as the 'tongue
in cheek' remark that it is obviously intended
to be. (It IS difficult to type when you're falling off the chair laughing)

  Actually, you've uncovered my secret.  I bought a 55 gallon drum of
  DeOxit.  I keep an old bathtub out in the shed and when I get a synth
  in for repair, I fill the tub with DeOxit and let the synth soak in
  it overnight.  That way, I get the bus bars, j-wires, pots, sliders,
  and switches clean at the same time.  Next morning, I pop the synth
  out, let it air-dry for a few hours and it's good as new.  Since
  DeOxit doesn't harm delicate plastics or rubber and leaves no
  residue, it's the perfect one-stop cleaning solution.
