Thanks for the timely warning, Brian, but at the very least it could be =
useful for running over the synths that I always leave un-protected by =
covers (a better idea but one that never seems to happen).

Unfortunately, it=E2=80=99s possible to destroy static sensitive =
electronics by waving plastics around inside. Unless those =
=E2=80=9Cstraw=E2=80=9D attachments are made of non-static, =
non-conductive plastic, then they could cause damage.

I was under the impression that the best way to clean out old =
electronics was with pressurized air rather than vacuum. Of course, =
finding non-disposable sources for air is tough unless you already own =
an air brush or other compressor.
