[Boatanchors] Drying out power supplies?

[Richard Knoppow]

    At -hp- we had occasional trouble with sealed transformers 
because they seals leaked a little, moisture could get in but had 
trouble getting out again. open frame transformers will dry out 
about as fast as any other component. I don't think there is any 
need to remove them. Drying takes longer than one would think. 
Our minimum was 48 hours but I often left stuff in for a week if 
I could. I never had a failure of anything I washed due to 
trapped moisture.
