How to clean a Victor?
Well my teams shop hasn't been nice to out past robots or even out new ones by drilling metal right over victors. Well as you may guess there is several pieces of tiny metal and a lot of dust in some that have me worried to even power them up for a fear of burning the up. So how to clean them?
theses 40 or so victors have all past their warranty age so opening isn't a problem but i notice this clear looking glue over the boards that have the metal fragments scattered near exposed connections.
I been think of putting them into a ultra sonic alcohol bath to clean them up but fear the wire bonds in the ICs would break. So how would you clean them besides a ear cleaner and some alcohol with a good amount of chair time.
