Default Pet hates ?


"Nutcase Kook "

Great dollops of that white goo between metal to metal thermally
conductive
surfaces. Heatsink to metal casing in amplifiers etc. I'm not sure why it
is
even necessary with perhaps 20 square inches of contact and bolts between.



** Err - because there are always large areas between fasteners that have
air gaps.

I always wipe away with paper etc on first parting but always some gets on
my
clothing



** When you separate the metal parts - cover them both with " Glad Wrap".

It later peels off easily and leaves almost all the white grease behind.

Anyone here remember the Bose 1800 /1801 amplifiers ??

Discovered this trick when servicing those horrible POS.
