[DannyG]

What are you guys doing to clean up old original tubes? I have a set thats in good condition and has the dual flamme center tube. Are you wire wheeeling them like most other stuff or ?

I was thinking that too Bruce just didnt know if there were any other tricks and didnt want to ompromise the orifices

You should be fine. If the wire brush tears them up, it will because the tubes are already too far gone. I have done dozens of sets of burners with the wire cup brush.

They are in very good shape. Also ive been using these, they work good and you dont have to worry about a wire in the eye ...

I don't care what you use. If you rotate something at high speed you always need to worry about something in the eye

This hobby is fun, but it can also be dangerous. Protecting your eyes, lungs and ears is not optional!!!
