Default On another subject besides John Smith

I read up on repairing it and even the repair guide says it's cheaper
to buy a new one. Dr's Smith & Foster have it on sale for $49. Did
that.

did the bulbs break? if so then im pretty sure just the bulbs blew
from instant cooling. but if they went out and didnt break, this may
not be a good sign :-) . electronics are pretty robust when it comes
to water, but if they got salted you would be better off rinsing the
salt water off thouroughly and then letting the apparatus dry for a
day or two before powering it back up.

second one I managed to talk the store into an exchange.

This time I'm biting the bullet. Do you think that just the bulbs
blew or is the entire thing dead? It's all dried out now.

Thanks.
