Thanks everyone for the suggestions. It looks like TCE is readily
available for $27/quart (as long as you're not in CA) so I'll try that
first and then go the mechanical cleaning route.

I used to love "trike" for de-fluxing solder joints. It worked extremely well, in small quantities. The stuff that's available now is nowhere near as effective, and you end up using three or four times as much.

Bob,
NASA used Trichloroethylene on the F-1 and they apparently thought
it worked pretty well. I doubt you would be able to find any in a
pure form since it is a hazardous substance, but you can find some
products that have it in them at the following links:

I also found a substitute here:

I hope that helps!
