CLEANING
There is a tech in Seattle named Wm J. Smith who demonstrated a good =
method of cleaning tuning pin area.
Spray foam rug cleaner all over the area.  Then with a stiff brush work =
around the area to loosen the dirt. Then place pads of gauze and poke it =
down on top of the pins and with the same brush wiggle it around and =
remove it. You may have to repeat, but it sure works.

  Commercial degreaser available from a hardware store or janitorial =
supply.
  Dilute to your desired strength.

  White Scotch Bright cut into bite-size pieces and secured onto =
forceps.

  With the degreaser in an open container; dunk the S-B and tap excess =
off.
  Fastidiously scrub the area between the pins (have a comfortable =
bench).

  Clean an area or section.

  Remove residue with a similar sized piece of cloth and degreaser in =
the same
  manner, wipe dry with another small, dry piece held in the forceps.

  A good job for the 'new guy'.
