    Nope. Put it back together, fire it up and see what you've got. 

    If the elements are intact, nothing there. If they've been disassembled, 
shiny up the element joints with ScotchBrite and use an antioxidant on the 
joint when you put it back together. Also antioxidant on the feedpoint. 

    The only potential problem is bugs in the traps. I'll bet you a nickel 
that it works just fine when re-assembled.
