    Cleaning solutions for ultrasonic cleaning of electronics?

    I've got a 10L cleaner coming and am going to try this stuff which is produced locally here in Sydney - specifically calls out PCB cleaning and use with ultrasonic cleaners. It's pretty cheap (AUD$15/L), plus I can pick it up from local electronics store - so no shipping.

    SE/30 A/B differences?

    Are there any differences between A/B's delivered to US vs international? ie in the same way as there are with 128K's etc..? I'm assuming any differences are within the PSU itself..
