All,
I feel that we need to reach a consensus on how sanitary these boxes should
be. Obviously, fingerprint oils and minor dirt and such should be
expected. But suppose someone were to receive a box with, say, moldy bricks?
What should that someone do? Hypothetically speaking, of course... :-,
Cheers,

I've found a nice cleaner that removes just about anything, including smoke
smell - Lysol Kitchen Cleaner. It leaves a nice citrusy smell too ;-)
If this is the Technic box, and you don't have time to clean them, I'll
soak them for a day or 2 in it, it will clean them up.

How will this affect the motors? How about the pneumatic pump, piston, and
tank? These look fairly clean; I'll probably just leave them alone anyway...

Thanks, but I needed something to do while watching the Simpsons. :-,

I must be a little confused here.
Are there 2 Technic boxes floating around? Did I miss something?
I will admit that I am not too savvy reading Todd's web based news, and the
original 'technic box' thread disappeared from my newsreader weeks ago. The
technic box I got from Larry P. (and have since sent off to Ben Roller) was
minimally dirty, and I even cleaned some of it up before sending it off
again.
I washed the stuff I put in before I sent it out, documented it, and even
threw in a handy dandy map to track progress across the states.
Well, that is what I think should be the state of 'Cleanliness of the
pieces', as well as what I feel to be a good samaritan in this grand social
experiment.
Did I mention my state of confusion?
Build On!

I got the box from Ben today. I just saw a bunch'o green mold on one of the
bigger yellow cogs. I just happen to be allergic to most forms of mold and
fungus. (And Barbara absolutely loves mushrooms! X-P )

Which is a wicked cool idea! :-, Thanks!

The tank SHOULD be clean, it was brand new never used when I put it
in... so unless too many people have been drooling on it??

I thought that was clay. That was on those cogs when they were donated
by Todd. If you think you can get it off without distorting the plastic,
it would be worth a try.

If his mold sensitivities are anything like mine, he'll know if its mold
or clay... Of course if its mold, a lysol or bleach soaking should do a
lot to cure it.

Well, the itching hands, nose and eyes were a good indicator, but what
really tipped me off was the yellow spores poking out of the green lump.

I thought about bleach, but decided against it because of its bleaching
capabilities. Lysol should be pretty mild, I would guess^H^H^H^H^Hhope.
I'll experiemt with one of the wheel pieces I broke (1).

1. A common piece -- I will replace it!

Good, wouldn't want any MORE drool on it (of course lots of us don't
have to drool over them - does S@H still have 8250s in stock?)
