cleaning keys

[William R. Monroe]

Listers,

If you are just looking for a box big enough to do keysticks, I picked one
up at Harbor "Fright" Tools for $69 on sale, $99 regular.  Mine is the model
number 38440-2VGA.  It is a plastic cabinet, big enough (not a lot of extra
room in there) to bead blast keysticks.  For $69, you can't go wrong.  Works
fine, had a small opening that I had to seal in a lower corner, but cheap
and effective.  It's just bead blasting after all.  Go to
www.harborfreight.com and type in "bead blasting" in the keyword search.
