What the rain can do.

What the rain can do.

Someone left the door unlocked and open when it rained last week.... 01/30/13. It looks as if someone on the "Outside" does not like the light that has keys. The lock was changed a few times with different # keys.....

Anyway, The controller was wiped out...

Changed the 2070 and it ran for a few minutes before conflicts on unused switch packs started in...

Image

Left all the wiring attached to the rack, took the screws out, leaned it forward and "Air Dried" for an hour and as good as "Like New"...

Image Image Image

Pictures are from 01/31/13 and has been running since. :grin:
Well what do you know. If I put my name here, I do not have to sign it everytime.

Neat, you could have plugged a hair dryer into the GFI to help it along.
