Day #2 involved cleaning a lot of parts, and experimenting with a few techniques. These parts were some of the nastiest parts I've had in a game. Well coated and caked in tar, grease, solenoid 'dust, etc.
For those following along from the beginning, the day began here:

Played with the ultrasonic cleaner a bit, I think I'm in love!

I'm not convinced I am going to tumble any of this stuff - I don't know if I'll gain anything, and it'll take a lot of effort and supplies.
Not sure yet what tomorrow will bring, maybe I'll build some assemblies. I'm working on the hopefully final parts list.
