Funny how the simplest fixes often beat the expensive fancy stuff.

Whole world's addicted to overcomplicating crap that works fine simple.

Ngl, it's nice to see someone else taking the cheap route and it actually working. People act like you need some special lab grade cleaner for vintage gear. Lighter fluid is just naphtha basically, it's been used for decades to clean old camera parts. The expensive stuff is just the same thing in a fancy bottle with a higher price tag. Glad it worked out for you on that SRT, they're solid cameras and don't need all the extra fuss.
