OMG I couldn't comprehend doing that. I had a relative donate me their minty SX-3800 receiver years ago (and since then have recapped it and it is in use today) that was coated with a thin film of smoker's residue. I spent weeks with rubbing alcohol cleaning up everything I humanly could and I was worried about frying components then!If you google cleaning methods this is not an unusual recommndation, I have been doing it for years and have never had a failure. A final thorough dousing in distilled water then at least seven days with a fan heater no less than 3ft away will dry it out perfectly.
Do you have a link that thoroughly documents the cleaning method you used? I would love to learn more about it and perhaps apply that to a future units that I purchase...
Thanks,
