I have noticed
that machines with either residue (pot or cigs) don't tend to
have mice live
in them when sotred - I tried this by putting a bag of
tobacco (cloth bag)
inside and purposely left a filler plate off - no mice. The
machine without
had all sorts of acorn shells, poop, nesting materials, etc though.
Great tip, thanks, the old IBM 716 Line Printer was *full*
of that; had I known I could stick a pack of Viceroys in
there to cure it, I might not have dismantled it...
