i dont recall hearing this term before but i have heard it twice and saw it in an ad for sale . so im wondering if there is a major consensus what is determined to be a "deep" clean ?

Yes you are correct i did see that ad and saw that. and just last week someone that restores pins(rather nicely i might add) called me inquiring what machines i might have available for him to do a "deep" clean on amongst other things to take to allentown this year. i sort of assumed that was what was meant and didnt think of it so much as a buzz word in your ad but not sure if it were to include disassembly of all mechanicals and such. i was just curious . i just have finished doing much of the same for a hokus pokus yesterday and not that i plan on selling it but wondered if i had done a "deep" clean. ill take it to mean a tear down of the pf to do a proper job. learning this hobby and a bit overwhelmed to the lengths people go to bring machines back to pristine condition in all facets of the machine, i at least am grateful that i have instilled that amount of work and it seems with each one , one just goes a bit further.

m not sure if it is a buzz word for others but i think ill incorporate it as that particular process.

Good luck with your sale!
