[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 127871, member: 6277"] I was working at a TV station before I retired. We had this idiot working the night Shift in Master Control (The ones that control what is put on the air) He had a drink where it was not supposed to be. Over the on-air switcher. You can gueas what happened next. Well the station went off the air by the next morning when the coke gummed up the works. The chief engineer had to bypass the switcher to get us on the air. I told him he needed to wash the switcher and he just laughed at me. I told him several time. Soak the switcher in water and then dry it with heat for days an if it will ever work then this is what you have to do to start with. Long story short he finally got in touch with an expert in that switcher about two weeks later. Guess what he told him....Soak the switcher in water and then dry. Switcher worked better than it had for years. It cleaned up problems the switcher had experienced for years. I had the last laugh. When I managed camera stores we got the I dropped my camera in the ocean several time a year and we always told them the same thing. Battery out flush with clean water and pace in rice. [/QUOTE]
