Smelly Jupiter 6

Smelly Jupiter 6

2005-02-19 by bitjiggle

Hi all,

I've just purchased a Jupiter 6 and it looks like it's last owner was
a heavy smoker, judging from smell and gunk on the side of the keys.
Does anyone know how to or have any ideas how to remove this odor from
electrical equipment?

Thanks

perhaps a wipedown w/a diluted vinegar solution?     another solution might 
be a light rubbing alcohol swipe w/a  washcloth.   of course, try a test wipe 
on a hidden area of your prize  board.    not only will it be smoke-free, but 
you'll kill any  cooties the previous owner might have left behind...
 
good luck
