Dipping Mixer
When was the last time anyone had a console taken out and DIPPED for a
good cleaning. I am looking for a place in the Indy/Chicago area that can give a full bath for an old Neve console that has been setting (uncovered) in storage for more than 15 years. |

Hi Personally, I don't think this is the best idea because there's far more dirt in the general outside construction of the modules than inside the crucial switches and pots. By dipping the modules in one of those baths you dissolve all the dirt that will remain in suspenson in the fluid, washing the dust and grime through all the delicate internal components. snippety Hi The other thing that occurred to me is that the cleaning solvent is not going to be changed for each module because the stuff is too expensive for that luxury, so the percentage of dirt and oily grime in suspension in the cleaning fluid is going to increase with each cleaning cycle. It's rather as if an entire muddy football team were going to bath using the same water... would you like to bath in that water after the last muddy guy stepped out? The water would be so thick with dissolved mud that you could practically stand a spoon up in it! I've washed Neve front panels and knobs (after removing the steel screws) but never an entire module! * shudders at the thought * Geoff Tanner Phoenix Audio International LLC Aurora Audio International www.auroaaudio.net |
