[Heathkit] Faceplate inck

[Zorn Jr Robert L]

Car wax cleans the less stubborn stains.  For inks I use the step one
cleaner from the Meguiars Deep Crystal three part car cleaning system.
Auto parts stores carry it.
It doesn't cut like alchohol but it has not damaged any paints or
lettering, so far.

My problem is the previous owner of these rigs put small, but certainly noticeable, ink pen marks on the faceplates of both rigs.  Example: On the SB-401, where the final tunes to 80 meters, there is a small ink line and above it the numbers "80", and so on through 10 meters. On the receiver, there are similar ink lines and numbers inserted just above and around the preselector control.
