FLOOD SALVAGE

["Brien Tourville" <hh7x@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pull what you want to save.

Go to Radio Shack & buy a spray can
of TV Tuner Cleaner.

If you just want to keep everything intact,
use the Cleaner with that straw attatchment
& blast it into areas you're concerned about.

- Or - 

Dismantle what you can safely reassemble.

Flush out with the Distilled Water.

Dry with a Hand Held Hair Dryer or
Heat Gun > don't melt anything.

Go over the parts with the TV Tuner Cleaner.

If you're using wire looms that plug together,
Dielectric Grease once the TV Tuner Cleaner
has evaporated > which is usually instantanious.

You're "Good to Go".

If you really want to try saving the electronics, flush everything
with lots of distilled water, hit them with some more distilled 
water,
and then leave them to dry. "Non-distilled" water can and will leave
conductive residue on things when it evaporates.
