Thanks to everyone on my earlier post on restoring my Triton IV, especially
Phil, N4ZSA. I now have the transmitter going with about 90-95 watts on 80-15,
and about 75 on 10. As for cleaning the tobacco tar of the faceplate, I used a
tip from Collins restorers. I used a product called KRUD-KUTTER (tm). I got
mine from my local Ace Hardware store. You apply it in sections, wait about 5
minutes, and the tar comes off in sheets!! I used one of those green fabric
scrubber pads found in the dish washing section of supermarkets to rub it
clean It did not harm the lettering, but I was very careful about scrubbing
around them. This was followed by an aluminum polish. The result was a very
nice looking faceplate. Thanks, Marvin,WB4OKM
