Too chicken to try it out. As I don't want to spent big $$$ to get another Pole Position II board or boards for my Virtua Racing unit.
Stingray:
I've heard of doing this for years, but have never been brave enough to actually try it.

I did it this weekend for grins and giggles. I have a Star Fighter board that pretty much had an animal urinate, defecate, die and rot on top of. Obviously it wasn't in working order to start with. I pulled all the socketed chips and ran it with a little liquid dishwashing detergent. Came out pretty nice. Now I can see how many sockets actually have rust/corrosion and I wasn't afraid to touch it with my bare hands. It really did clean it up nice. Unfortunately I didn't bother with before/after pics since it was on a whim.
tommy:
Why would you guys take the chance in ruining a pcb, theres many ways to clean things without any danger of it being destroyed. :-\
Wade:
What makes you think a dishwasher is any riskier than the other cleaning methods?
