Electronics in Dusty Environments

Just plugging into an outlet on a different circuit and keeping the dust out should keep the tunes playing. Talk to a qualified elect about adding a seperate outlet from a different curcuit. Should't cost too much. Hope this helps -------> Mike

depending on what i'm grinding off, my beltsander makes quite a bit of very fine dust which in heavy use eventually shorts out the switch contacts inside it. i suggest the dust is not killing the electronics so much as blocking the signal where it hits the selector and volume control conacts in your older receivers. sure, vacuum out the interior spaces. then get a can of tv tuner cleaner at radio shack and using the tiny straw, blast a few streams through the front panel down the shafts of the selector and volume pots. work the pots thru their rotations and see if your ailing channels spring back to life. and wear a mask while you're working, how many times i gotta tell you, haha. good luck!

oops, just occurred to me. if ya got a mono/stereo switch give that puppy a shot of the juice too :-)

Everybody has great advice on what to do. This is what NOT to. Never use compressed air.WAAAY to much water/moisture.

Tripplite products can be bought from a number of electronic outlets. Allied Electronics has it, I'm pretty sure Newark would have it as well. Allied does not stock it, but the Allied Stock Number (go figure) is 575-9991. The allied web site is: http://www.alliedelec.com/default.asp
