Steam the trilite by all means but the rest just soapy water (washing up liquid) will do the trick (including the touch panels) but leave it a good few days before you plug any of it in.
I know this sounds nuts but it does work (I've done it load's even with mixers) and as long as there's no voltage left in any of the units all will be well.

Did you get any nice old sound bits?

all the sound bits were taken out years ago. However there was a cloud limiter and an old active crossover, and also in the corner of the room was an old jbl bin, the 2x15" big fobby where the cones face away from each other and point to the side with the magnets almost touching in the middle of the cab. the cones are still in it, so fingers crossed they are ok when i fire it up,Big smile

Neon could potentially be lethal unless you know what you are doing. Please take care.
 
I have fitted miles of it. I would not reccomenend it for a novice with such equipment.

It appears in a whole lot better condition than some of the other bits. to be honest some of the kremesa bits are rusted up quite badly.
 
This astro-thingey looks the part tho, I trust myself to fire this up, I will put my rubber wellies on first Wink
