Hey guys,
I bought a hammond L-100 tonewheel organ a few days ago, It worked fine when I got it home and was running happily for a few more hours that evening.
After turning it on the next morning there was no sound, Shortly followed by smoke from inside the organ!![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
As it goes, My motor run cap went bust a day into my ownership of the thing.
After a bit of research online, I've found what seems like a suitable replacement...

Here's where the tricky bit arises;
The previous cap was the type filled with PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) oil, Which has leaked over the metalwork around the motor cap.
I know this is meant to be quite nasty stuff, So can anyone recommend any particularly effective (and safe) methods of cleaning up a small spill?
Obviously, I'll make sure to properly dispose of anything used to clean it up.
