Finished all cleaning tasks for this Tascam 244. 🧼

There was cigarette(?) grime on the internal metal chassis that I cleaned off (mostly) using baby wipes. Also ultrasonic-cleaned the removable plastic parts, sponge-cleaned the faceplate and cassette door, a few passes over the PCBs with an electric duster, and took a toothbrush to the circular fader dust guards.

Now moving on to contact-cleaning all potentiometers & switches... #recdel

Have you ever heard of #Lindane or #HCH?
It's hexachlorocyclohexane - a (too) efficient agricultural #insecticide (?)

"The Legacy of Lindane HCH Isomer Production" (IHPA)

Technical HCH (chlorination of benzene) contains the only efficient gamma-isomer besides 4 #NonActive isomers

▶️ #85% of useless products - dumped without knowing the consequences - yet, not #CleanedUp, seeping further towards the #groundwater! 🗑
