[SBE] FW: Question about a Crown exciter and transmitter, over temperatur...

Ahh, the good old Navy days.  Between Trichlorotrifluoroethane and PD-680 you could clean anything!

Actually. Trichlorotrifluoroethane Used a lot during the 70s and early 80s. When I was in the Navy we got the stuff in gallon cans or spray and you could use it manually with paint brushes and towels or put it in the vat of your ultrasonic cleaner. Commercially it was usually available in spray cans. Unfortunately it's really hard on your respiratory system and has since been classified as a hazardous substance. But it sure did make short work of dirt and oil... It's still available (do a Google search on Freon TF) but has fallen out of general use due to the potential hazards.
