I have shown this chip before in the cleaning threads so you might want to skip this post if you have been around for awhile.
I do not clean chips.
The z rated scan below was cleaned before I got it. I have another one that is not cleaned. I got this one in a multi chip swap and it was part of the deal, or I would not have taken it. As you can see the inserts are no longer the true color and are faded. I have been told to use mineral oil on it. As you can see I have not. If cleaning does this, what will mineral oil do to it as it sits in a safety deposit box for years? Do we know? I don't. The 2nd example of this chip I have is a little dirty but the colors are true.
After I go to meet the "Big Chip God In the Sky" the party that winds up with this chip can oil it, if he wants to.
I do not clean chips and will not buy or trade for cleaned chips except for a deal like I acquired this one.
Do you think the person that cleaned this chip could have possibly cleaned Bugsy's finger prints off of it? <g>
