Mine inside RIG's cabinet/enclosure only (offcorce shielded with grounded Brass sheet) Guys bring a transformer PSU or UPS near color CRT monitor (if U still have) give some loading & see the difference it makes on screen... Also good practice is to dilute little rosin in medical white sprit (or in acetone paint thinner), and give a fine conformal coating with paint brush (after scratch/cleaning the clad), this saves bare copper from getting *oxidize, changing it's color and making it hard for soldering components after some aging. This coating also acts as flux... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosin Here available in medicine or raw paint shops (also used in varnish), better known as Rohanam, galla, - Its actually a tree extract (resin which oozes out of a tree bark when it is injured) and is without any toxic acid. Its also the stuff which is used by violinist to keep their bow's in shape. Or in smoke-sticks used for worship. Most of the solder for electronics is "rosin core"--the wire-like solder is actually a tube full of rosin flux. I did diluted years ago in sprit (not very vicious), still using it whenever necessary (immediately after etching) , but now a days it is also available in the form of Golden color Liquid Flux (not transparent white one) made by 'MAX' available with mobile repair vendors... -- -- Please encourage recycling, reuse or repairing of E-waste. ░7░3░ ░d░e░ ░V░U░3░S░X░T░
