Working on a Yaesu FT-890 with the built in ATU. Seems coffee got spilled in
and is all over the pcbs, and its got into the bread slicer outer fin and some of the inner ones.

Whats a good way to get in between them without messing them up? I am figuring
some alcohol on some sort of applicator, q tip is too wide.

The guys who restore old a.m. radios will usually remove the capacitor, replace it in an ultrasonic cleaner. If you like, I can find a link to some of the videos where they do this.

I’ve cleaned aluminum with HVAC coil cleaner.  Alternatively, I like “Super Clean” on nicotine coated chassis.
