[AMRadio] Old Iron or new Iron

[Adrian Flynn]

Hi Mel,
Try a recovery on a TV that a "Blond housewife" hung a plant over top of
for a couple of years. She took it down to water it but the plant dripped
water off of the leaves onto the circuit board.  (Ugh).
Or the TV that junior poured milk into. (Ugh Ugh)
Those are the days that make you pull your hair out!

  The fresh water is only necessary if it has been submerged in salt water,
obviously.  The real problem with long term high humidity on unprotected
equipment is the level of penetration the corrosion has gone.  Worse case
is warm climate and High moisture.  The main thing is to be prepared for a
long recovery effort. SLOW and careful is the motto and that you are
probably going to
 be successful only about 50% of the time.

Mel, K6KBE
