Hm, atm I'm cleaning some BBC systems, and I use a brush and vacuum cleaner
for the PCB boards. It's all TTL, so I don't expect problems about static
electricity. But this method is wrong for Masters, Archimes and so on.
Well, I think so.

Can someone advice me/us about a good wet cleaning procedure, and its
following absolutely needed quick drying method?
