If you really want to clean it,run it through your dishwasher(alone,no

We used to run 2236 DMM boards thru a DW to cure a Hi-Z leakage problem.
Then 3 days in the drying oven.

Jim, have you seen the small powder coat oven at Harbor Freight? The
temperature range is too high, but it looks like a small environmental
chamber. For the $399 price it wouldn't be hard to change or modify the
controller to use for circuit boards, if needed.


It is only large enough for boards or small instruments.But it would be a
nice oven for a small business.

You could make a large plywood box,put a bank or two of 100W light bulbs in
it,and a couple of fans drawing air out of the box,for a lot less,IMO.
And size it large enough to fit a 7000 series scope mainframe.
Gets too hot inside,unscrew a light bulb or two.

Not fancy,but workable.
