Knob crud seems to be a universal thing with older gear. All Swan gear comes with knob crud. Some of it is just from crummy fingers but I also think the plastic used promotes mold growth. I take all the knobs and soak then in vinegar then use a tooth brush and antibacterial soap. I've also noticed that high humidity also promotes mold growth.
651-S1, used many in my AF years. Great radio, wish I had one.

The one I really wish I had is the 451-S1 It's the receiver counterpart to the KWM-380/HF-380 and as I understand less than 10 were made. Would make for a nice pair of twins on the operating desk.Originally Posted by K4PIH
Back to the -515 momentarily. Appears that I am going to be firing up the desoldering station...
