vacuums

[Farrell]

Hi Phil. I hold the vacuum hose there and vigorously brush the area with a
cheap paint brush. That gets all the dust bunnies and crud out of the area.
It obviously does not actually clean the plate. A dark dingy plate will
still be dark and dingy, but at least dust and crud free. My experience is
that if the tuning pin area is that cruddy, it would look weird to have the
plate all clean in that area???????
