cleaning

how to clean chrome and metal parts from oxidation? in particular the tape buttons (play,stop...), the tweeter speakers and case..

 

[baddboybill]

I have used an erasure and rubbed off oxidation. It's a little bit of work but it does the trick

I use toothbrush and a paste made with water and baking soda. It performs miracles on buttons and switches - especially for grooved / textured buttons.

I believe that soda blasting could also do the trick. I'd be interested to see how it would perform on a chrome plated plastics...
