Oh Yeah! The back porch (roofless) was still
stacked full of Intel
MDS-2xxs and the front was stacked full of DEC stuff. It all got soaked but
none blew away. The house was FULL and no room for these big items.
Clean 'em with distilled water, then leave to dry for a few days - good as
new :)
If you really feel pessimistic, get a toothbrush and clean every single
component with 90% isopropanol :)
OTOH, if you feel brave, pull the boards and run them through a dishwasher.
Can't remember what settings to use, but it supposedly works wonders as long
as you don't mind having a few labels ripped off the board here and there
(and a few electrolytics might break off if you're real unlucky).
Later.
