[Amps] SB-220 Shorted HV Transformer

[Philip Leonard WVØT]

I never thought of using a water-only run on a dishwasher to clean up a 
dirty amp.  I have a SB-200 that has sat in a garage for many years and 
is very dirty inside.  I may have to try this method.  Do you dry it 
with the dishwashers drying element or let it air dry (or both)?
