I think there's a good chance it will be fine.  The only access the
weather has is to the vents on the diaphragm chambers.  IIRC the
high-pressure one is just a pinhole, and the other a much larger hole
with a screen over it.  If it was mine I'd probably stick it in a
125F oven for a few hours, or a vacuum chamber if I had one.


But given what they cost it might not be worth the hassle and
lingering question.


Yours,
David
