Do you remember those horrible single board Mk 11 wired sets. I picked one out from the pile of sets on the floor thinking this will be easy."Smoother shot". The can had literally exploded its innards all over the inside of the set. The electrolyte had all but eroded most of the print tracks . As luck had it Dave was scrapping one off and I replaced the board. But, dave (Leithbridge) had me spend nearly an hour cleaning the inside of the cabinet. Replaced the smoother and... It worked. However there was a line tearing fault. Sorted it eventually but wasted a lot of time on one set.
