My S-Line acquired some tropical fungus that lived in the IF cans and
would creep out onto the chassis in fuzzy little splotches. I found
that a trip to the DIY car wash followed by a hair dryer worked
wonders. Never seemed to bother the operation or calibration of the RX
and TX either.

On the subject of using water on electrical components... most components
(particularly if they might be mil spec) are made for water emersion (NOT
ALL!). In my office lab we routinely clean circuit boards by scrubbing them
with just water and force-drying them. Works fine. About a decade ago, I used
to buy up surplus AM/ broadcast band transmitters for repurposing to other
countries (mainly south America) for the Christian broadcasting markets. Once
back at my shop, the first stop was a good through power washing in the
driveway (paper and other water damaged goods removed of course) followed by a
good drying (leaf blower). Works fine!
