My son got home and plugged in my beloved Motif 8 Classic, and noticed it was wet. He looked up and saw a drip drip drip from the ceiling.

Open the unit up and break out a hair dryer.

Re: Water torture tale of woe
In the ‘old’ days, when electronics were seperate components, I once drove home from a gig for 1 hour, in a pouring rainstorm. Of course I did not have cases back then. Those were the days I would go to the gas station and get whatever I gas I had money for in my pocket, so I definitely could not afford cases for the equipment, I really couldn’t afford!! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif alt=

Thanks for the good wishes. I guess I really really got lucky, as my son powered it up right away, and it all seems to still work.

Most people don’t realise that, after circuit boards are soldered, they are usually washed. With water (usually deionzied water, but that’s a longer story.)
