(In my limited experience) I don't think the boxes will 'dry out'. The fins in mine were covered with burned/dried up oil. Reconnecting isn't too bad, but I would try to get him to flush or clean the oil out rather than leave it to get burned on. -- Malcolm Malcolm Bebb bebb@embetech.demon.co.uk Tel/Fax (44) 01202 772162 Test Solutions ATE User Documentation Mobile 0468 377456
