Dave,
I've read some of the suggestions and they are right on.
I got lucky on the last one I did and only needed to replace a resistor when all
was said and done.
After washing the board, I would take some airjet under the transformers, then
turn the oven on low heat and place the board in the over for a few minutes.
Then let air dry for two days and use some more air to see if any water droplets
venture out from under anything.
You always run a risk   with a repair like this, so if this works, don't expect 
it
to work on the next unit.

Subject: [TechAssist] Cleaning Coke from chassis ?



This question is not model specific.
What's the best cleaning solution to remove and clean Coke from a chassis
board?
I have a TV in shop that had pop accidentally spilled down the front of the
picture tube and collected inside on the chassis around the IR receiver
circuitry. I'd like to try to clean it before condemning it as unrepairable
if that's possible. This set is just over a year old so I thought I'd try my
best.
Any advice is appreciated.
