Subject:      AFM - Open.  Now what?
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I finally isolated the problem on Billy Bones to the
AFM.  No matter which bus I put it on, it revs then
dies right away.  So, I opened it up.  Back when
I cleaned it with solvent, I was unaware that it
had gotten into the center of the thing.  Well,
there was liquid and some corrosion under the lid.
I sprayed the entire thing with WD40 to get rid
of the cleaning solvent, and then drained it and
swabbed it out with lots of Q-tips.  Tomorrow
I'm going to NAPA to get some of that QD Electronic
Cleaner and give it a good spraying.  I'll let
it air out and reassemble it and hope for the best.

Any tips at this point?  What's the best way to
reseal the unit?

Thanks,
