Back in the day, whenever a piece of electronic equipment such as a tape deck stopped working, I would put it aside and wait for when Fred came to visit to see if he could get it rolling again. And we would go into the basement and clean it with isopropyl rubbing alcohol and q-tips. Amazingly, sometimes it worked. And even when it didn’t, I would be thoroughly impressed at his meticulousness and patience as he worked the swab into the tiny mechanisms. He was always glad to help.
