I guess you all are growned uppeth enough... so I shall lay upon theee all the ultramint nightmare.
Working the audio biz for a change of pace. A lady calls and asks for a tech to come out and check her sound system. Okay, needed to check the new set of gears in my rompmobile so 30 miles up the mountains I go.
She inherited her house and goodies from a used hubby. Ratty old ranch house that was nice once. Inside is was immediately obvious she was allergic to housekeeping.
So one of her dogs or cats had chewed on the speaker wires. Top of the line Panasonic amp, 4 hefty speaker cabs and WHOA! ICK even. The speaker cabs are glued to the walls. A slightly closer inspection showed everything in the room near the walls was thickly webbed to the walls with that good old ultra strong guess-what-kind-of-spider webs. Live in fear in the center of the room kind of interior deco job.
I moved the speaker cabs into the middle of the room, pissing off a few Hesperus. A quick check showed the amp had blown some gaskets and I was only too happy to toss it in the back of my truck and get shot of that place.
Back at the shop I cautiously opened up the amp. Aha. Take it out in the back alley and turn a high pressure hose on the innards. Dunno. Maybe 10 or so Hesperus and the innards of the amp completely gummed solid with webs. Yes you can hose out many electric appliances if you know the follow up procedures.
So your little sac happy behind the clock in your nuke? Lightweight! Peanuts!
