zincmann Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Any suggestions for cleaning what I think is real but thin aluminum on the 7800 Console and joysticks. I am refurbishing the unit I bought for $20 on ebay and I want to try to clean it up. Was thinking about using a dremel with a buffing bit or maybe a cleaner that is safe for it.
