Title: Optical Galvanometer Cleaning
Post by: Cyberdragon on October 13, 2016, 06:27:23 am

I have a couple very old optical galvanometer boxes, the most complete one being a Rubicon one. The problem is they are full of cobwebs and crustyness, even on the tiny bits.

How would I clean the tiny galvanometer mirror without breaking the mechanism? I looks so fragile I'm afraid a cotton swab would break it (or leave fuzzies on it).
