There was an Strays in QST MANY years ago about a Collins 75A series receiver 
that had fallen off of a dock at a port in Africa while in it's crate. (Anyone 
else recall that story?) The recipient retrieved the crate, removed all of the 
tubes, washed every corner with fresh water and let it bake in the African sun. 
Once dried and the tubes reinstalled, it worked perfectly. That was a Collins.

The K3 and P3 are different technologies of course, but you could do worse than 
to try the cleaning suggestions already mentioned since you consider the K3/P3 
a total loss anyway.
