I read about guys whose rigs were flooded a few years back, and they washed them in water and dried them somehow. Said they worked fine after that. Hard to imagine though.

My S3-line acquired a chronic case of creeping fungus on the chassis while packed up and stored in the Philippines for 4 years. Returning home, I took it to the DIY car wash a couple of times and then dried it in the sun. Seemed to work really well, except for the fungi living in the IF cans. YMMV, I won't be doing that to my K3 however.

I'd be real wary of any kind of solvent(s), circuit boards used to be washed with distilled water, maybe still are. Here in No NV, our humidity runs in the single digits in the summer, things dry in the sun very fast.
