[QUOTE="dB-r, post: 8122809, member: 574699"] Yep, as long as you let an amp dry completely out (putting it in the hot sun directly with no cover on) before powering it back up, it will not hurt anything moisture can corrode parts YES, and can rust parts YES, but can tell you this, on amps that are extremely dirty, or extremely burned up, black shiz everywhere, blown caps, electrolyte everywhere etc, we WASH THEM with alcohol, strong concentrated soap, and the water hose with a high pressure squirt-er here at the shop, then blow them out with the air hose immediately, then put them in the 100 degree Texas Sun for 1/2 day - 1 whole day, and they not only look brand new again, ALL the moisture evaporates, and they work perfectly fine after repairs. Did you know after they get done with the "wave solder" process at the factory they WASH the circuit board? Yep. That's what that white residue is on the new circuit boards. Water/Soap. Can't really go wrong as long as you don't submerge it for more than 10 seconds to 1 minute at most, then blow it out with air hose, very WELL, then let it dry in the sun. [/QUOTE]
