Waterlogged monitor



Hey guys,

Today I found some Apple equipment in the garbage but it has
been raining today. The equipment looks a bit water logged. The
Apple IIe has a couple of cards: 80 column, super serial, and a
I/O controller.  The cards looked fine but the motherboard looks
wet and dirty.  Can it be salvaged or is it hosed? The keyboard
is junk since it is missing many keys.  I also found an AppleColor
Composite Monitor M6020 which was filty. I took it home and
cleaned the case. I removed the back cover and cleaned it up.
However, it looks like water seeped into the monitor. If I let it
dry, is it okay to plug it in? Or is it trash since it got wet?  I would
love to get a color monitor for my IIe's.  I don't currently have
one so it would be a cool find. The cards I have removed and put
into my other IIe unenhanced. If the motherboard is trash, can
I salvage the IIe enhanced parts and upgrade my other motherboard?
If so, what would I need to remove. Thanks for any suggestions.
