sue1952 not sure I'd fancy using Gin it's not pure enough, & if it did get into battery it could leave it's own residue behind . . . & yes it is a waste 99% IPA is the stuff & it's cheaper.

Indeed i wouldn't be using gin, it will do more harm than good, a good isopropyl bath should sort it.

No worries, but bear in mind there's not much that cant be fixed. Also, saddo's like me salvage the switches, tubes etc from any that are beyond repair.

I threw so many away, then I thought someone may be able to make use of these bits and pieces. One mans junk etc. I'm not sure of the correct terminology, but I have the metal bases and the top metal bit that you would put a wick into, then I have the plastic top that covers the wicks, all in bits though, all steralised. I also have condoms , and a few old cartomisers . It's not much at all really,but if you could make any use of it at all I will gladly send it to you.

Thanks sammy13, it can almost all be used in one way or another. Don't put yourself out but anything you want rid of I will gladly take. I use most of the bits I collect in free repairs for other people and some goes into my own mods.
