[BCMA] Advice for removing oil/grime from large piece of equipment

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi 

I'm curious if anyone has any recommended suggestions for affordable
products or services for cleaning oil/grime/grease/rust from large
pieces of historic equipment? 

We have a large stationary piece of equipment on site which includes a
large motor and oil tank. We are looking to clean up and paint the
piece. There are also a few very corroded brass fixtures on the piece.
The piece is also fixed to a large concrete block which is also very
grimy in places. 

Soda blasting specifically was mentioned as an option and I'm wondering
if anyone has any experience with this? 

Thanks 

Diane
