David,
I could tell you I had an experience where I had a stuck bit in core memory.
It was in a trunk frame in a #2ESS AIS.
I removed the core package and tapped it on the floor, reinserted it and
the trouble cleared.
Sticky bit! Ha
I only knew that because it happened to me on my old PDP-8/I..

Pete,
Did the 8E have core or solid state memory?
It had both, but I didn't put the core boards in the dishwasher. I
they might be too delicate for that, so I rinsed
them by hand in the
kitchen
sink.
I should have said that in my original post.
I assume your referring to the core electronics boards and didn't wash the
core plane.
I've never used the dishwasher. I've hand washed R, W, G and M type boards
in
sink with dish soap and soft bristle brush, rinsed, then blew off with
air compressor, then finish dry with fan. For pots and other
components that I wasn't sure how well they were sealed I used damp brush
or
cloth around them. Rest got dunked. No obvious issues from washing.
