You know - someone else said I could probably take a hose to them too. I'll get the grills removed and see what the possibilities of that are. I definately need to hose the grills off. I got most of the dirt out but a good spraying should get the rest of it.
Nothing seems to be warped - I'm amazed they've held up as well as they have! I'm dying to hear these again and watch the glow of the tubes in my amps - so I sure hope this restore works out. I've really missed having a listening system over the years... I'm also looking for another tube cage for my Citations. I know - these are impossible to find but I'd really like to have one so both amps are covered. So if anyone knows of one please contact me...
The Citations were submerged for 24 hours too but these things are like tanks with their potted transformers. I've cleaned them thoroughly and fired one up to 1/2 power on a variac and so far no smoke anywhere... The rest of the system never saw water so those components are good...
Thanks guys for the warm welcome and I look forward to posting my progress...
Cheers,
Luther
