Brian,
        Inhibisol is a cleaner based on trichloroethane. Don't know anything
about it's health effects (doubtful they are good) but it has a nasty habit
of degrading plastic.

Hi;

In the early 80's, Olympus (at least) stopped allowing benzene, freon, mek,
ether, inhibisol in the service department.  ............

Good reasons for some of those at least.

Benzene, the "pure" compound is reportedly highly carcinogenic, freon stuffs

up the Ozone UV-absorbing layer in the atmosphere, Methyl-Ethyl-ketone is 
also highly carcinogenic or some other bad thing - I'm sure a Google check 
would reveal what.

I have no idea what the problem could be with ether - except maybe fire 
danger, and inhibisol I had never heard of before.
