Alan Tippett San Jose Alan, I use ROR diluted 1:3 with distilled water. I dilute it for conservation. I would imagine you could use almost any glass cleaner in the same fashion. When I bought my last bottle of ROR, I drew 1 oz (give or take) and put it into another 4 oz spray bottle and filled with distilled water. When I clean my carrier, I spray the cleaner in the air and wave the carrier through the mist. This deposits a smaller amount than direct spraying ever can and also prevents it from getting under the edge of the glass. If you try to spray a small amount from most of those pump type sprayers, you end up with drops of cleaner and not a mist. I wipe with a piece of standard paper towel (I use Bounty brand). I have to go after the dust any way, so it really doesn't matter (IMHO) if I add dust while wiping. Hope this helps.

What is ROR?
Residual Oil Remover Type "http://www.google.com" and then "ror cleaning" = get it from the horse's (and his relatives) mouth. When I was at college the computer system would often (more times than I care to admit) spit out: " 25 errors in compile. Sometimes this compiler has been accused of being hard to please. 14:32:27.604 4 Jan 1968 is just one of those times. Programming manuals are available from Miss. Strange, Room 304. $5.00, cheap." What can I say? 17:00:12.247 4 Mar 2004 is just one of those times. -- Nicholas O. Lindan, Cleveland, Ohio Consulting Engineer: Electronics; Informatics; Photonics. |

Language was MAD on a 1410 with a 1401 pre-processor. State of the art at the time. No tubes any more, just discrete transistors. Bert Bert |

You can use isopropyl alcohol, but not from the common pint bottles sold for
household use. You need to use pharmaceutical grade (ask at your pharmacy) - the lesser stuff is only 70% alcohol and leaves a residue. You can also check the Yellow Pages for laboratory supply companies. If you have one nearby, check for something like Absorbond wipes by Texwipes. These are all mechanically-bound polyester fiber pads - no chemical binders so no residues, and lintless. Others are available, too. Bob in Las Vegas |
