Cleaning question for all you wood veterans. I recently had to run my Grand under hot running water to clean out the catch cup and connector. It was firing strangely but is working perfectly after the bath. Now since the 510 connector is the same (I think?) on the VV's and all the woods for that matter, how would you go about doing the same type of maintenance? I can imagine Rob would not condone plunging our VV's under water, right? And, I can assume that the same level of crud will eventually build up at the connector. So if/when it does, how should I get it clean without frying all the electro bits?

Mine hasn't tarnished yet but if it does what can I use to clean it and make it sparkle again?
EDIT: Stepped away and came back and typed that question. Didn't see that everyone was already answering that

I have some brasso I think that would work good again I would want to be careful not to get any on the finish
Exactly what I use. I have ot be careful of the finish & the engraving I colored in red. Don't want to take the chance to reomve it.
What is the difference between the regular VV Reos and the Tesla? I see the plunger door is that the only difference?
for the outside of the catch cup I used never dull with painters tape on the wood to make sure I didnt get any on it. It worked amazingly. for the inside I just use isoprpyl alchol.

This is what Alice posted the other day...
Some people have asked how to clean catch-cup of WOOD mods protecting the wood. I stick their wing-wangs through the wire mesh, with or without tube bottle cap on. I then scrub with humming bird feeder brush or DT brush with warmed 90% isopropyl alcohol. Alcohol warmed in pyrex measuring cup, in microwave, in 5 second burst till hot, but not too hot to touch. BE REALLY CAREFUL HEATING ALCOHOL IN MICROWAVE. IT CAN FLASH. You can use colander or whatever else the tube will fit through.
You can flush the tube with or without pressure using syringe.
Rewax after.
BTW... Those are two Walnuts and two Curly Oaks. Three 510 connectors and one 801 connector.
