Phantom cleaning and inspection continues

Because of my recent neck surgery, I can't do much real work on my newly acquired Phantom except clean the tubes and harware, and believe me...it needs it! I never knew so much grime could grow on aluminum! In the photos below, I show the kingpost tubes before I cleaned them, then after. This is the kind of stuff that needs to be really worked at with Scotch-brite pads. ALL tubes on this plane are like this. It's crazy. Anyway, I keep plugging away at it.
