    Is this a business you are running?

    Shame. I used to buy all sorts of chemicals that way, to the point where my
    local pharmacist stopped bothering to ask me what I wanted any of 'em for.
    Which was OK really, cos my Mad Scientist Uncle used to provide the properly
    dodgy stuff :)

    (So how do kids go about growing crystal gardens and that sort of thing
    these days then?)

    yeah, I did, but it's just a "notice of fine" - no mention of points
    or CD10s or SP50s or anything on it...

  5. The message <c2fee5$8s9$1$>
    Still is. Cleans switches, tape heads and is used for finishing (in the
    most professional way) vinyl in record-cleaning machines.
    Never asked me why I wanted it.
    Most of my servicing these days (Garrard 301 and 401 motor units) asks
    for cellulose thinners. Aerosol cans of switch cleaner are handy for
    noisy controls on amps and the like, but yes, isopropyl alcohol is cheap
    - especially if you buy it from a chemical distribution company. Now
    you'd be surprised at the questions they don't ask....

  6. It's part of my business, but not a BD business.

  7. Pre-packaged and totally safe[1] these days. Half the fun in doing those
    things used to be getting the kit together. I dunno, there's going to be
    a generation growing up that thinks everything comes in a packet.

    [1] Which is why the pharmacists don't want to stock the stuff any more
    apart from that which they might need as part of their business.

  9. I used to use it to clean up PCBs when I was building stuff for HP. Fair
    sizzles away when you hit it with a soldering iron...

  10. Oi, Jacques!

    If you know all about 401s perhaps you can tell us what oil
    to use in the spindle and motor bearings.
    As Garrard is no more, their special snake-oil is unobtainable.
    The general opinion is that light oil is good for the motor
    and heavy oil is good for the turntable spindle.
