I've put off purchasing more cleaning alcohol until I have a long enough shopping list to merit a trip. Probably tomorrow. Since I'm cleaning bars over outside windows, ventilation isn't an issue. I think the vinegar is probably also a viable option, just one that the painter didn't know about. Vinegar is used to remove rust, though these are aluminum so not a problem.

A device listed on eBay yesterday sold this morning so will leave the house tomorrow. I'll get out the next one and do the photos and description. I don't think the price was too low, I think it has to do with the trouble I take to test and clean and describe, and include a printed manual and extra equipment (since this is a VHS player I include an RCA cable and a tip sheet on how to keep them running for a long time.) The value added component.

This afternoon I stepped next door to deliver some fresh okra and they are babysitting the great grandson. We had a brief visit and though I didn't pick him up I gave him a pat on the cheek and got a sniff of his head - there is something magical about how a baby's hair smells.
