Cleaning old fluorescence lights - Chuck Wheeler - 07-05-2007 12:32

I am in the process of replacing all the ballasts in the fluorescence lights
with new ones that I got for Stephen Birtles. A couple of the old ballasts
have started leaking their potting compound. Has any one found anything
that will clean that stuff off?

I have direct tv for over ten years in house and bird with
know problems
Bob Loomas 1985 PT 36

Can anyone tell me if Dish Network is compatible with a Datron dish?

I bought Direct TV service for the house and the Bird. It has been the
most frustrating experience in recent memory. The home service has not
worked consistently for more than a few days at a time. And in that
time I have had to return two different receivers. Now it's out
again. The one in the bedroom works but the living room doesn't? I
waited four hours on the morning of the 4th for a tech who never showed
up. Said he couldn't find the address? Anyway, I want to say good
riddance to Direct TV and give Dish Net a try.

Sorry for the rant but thought I should pass on the info to anyone who
may be considering Direct TV.

Acetone did clean them up. If you don't leave it on too long it will also
clean the plastic diffuser. It does take the paint off the metal frame.
