stardrops does a good job ,  and mr muscle kitchen cleaner but dont leave it on for to long .

baby wipes mate all the way

ah rite mate, that nicotine staining is the worst especially if on the speaker cones, i try to stay away from real filthy boxes, still they can be sorted if ya got the patience.

like Si says a full strip and hot soapy bath will do the trick

yeah spraying the cones is the best solution, a tosh 120 for a couple of quid is a great score, i had one a few year back, sweet little boxes them, congrats

that's what you want a score of an old couple.....guaranteed to be in good shape

nice little profit you made there mate good on ya.

i know what you mean about preffering bigger boxes, 120's and likes make good kitchen radios thow

I usually do something like that.

Shampoo and hot water for one or two hours depending on how much dirty the unit is.

Wipe it with a wettex slightly watered, leave it under the sun for 20 minutes to dry out and get it to gether again!

Totally agree with that but just to make it more visible what i use is that!

yeah id say go with a full body wash....i call it the driptip method....he was one of the first ones to do it back in the day....

deech those tosh's has to be the easiest boxes to clean! wish they was all that simple

The old rt-200? Stardrops. Best cleaner, by far.

I agree  not every box is that easy to strip and then clean.

In case i can't fully dismantle a box or i am too afraid

because of many reasons then

what i do is azax a bucket of hot soapy water, toothpicks , dettol, latex gloves and kitchen paper.

In the end it works  but you got be patient enough and have some time.

Almost all parts of a boombox except any paper made items like speaker or sticker lables on the backside (most boomoboxes of the golden age has metal name plates, if not moulded as part of the body) can be cleaned with Kerosene (white paraffin oil) including acrylic tuner dial glasses and cassette compartment. Wipe thoroughly with cotton cloth soaked in kerosene. I have used it on CK-95, RX-7000, GF-909 etc. without any problem. Printed letters will not vanish. Very good on rust and sticker adhesive residues.

One useful item to clean hard to reach areas like grooves, is the wooden barbeque sticks. Wrap the tip of the stick with one or two layers of soaked cotton cloth.

Question guys since i am new and need help what about sratches and discolorations on plastic parts chrome parts how  do you treat surfaces in general?

The only thing till now that i trusted myself are  baby wipes and lanolin or what ever is inside kills all outside dirt but inside?

What do you do with the cones grills pictures anyone?
