29C & tea don't mix

[rprosperi]

Welcome to the MoHPC Forum ajo; if you're a 29C user, I think you'll find it nice here.

Thanks for taking the time to describe your problem, interim cleaning attempts, and then your ultimate victory. Detailed posts like this are very helpful for readers with similar problems and your careful and detailed explanation will surely encourage and help guide some of them to attempt the same techniques and hopefully achieve similar success.

Bernhard truly is magical and generous and is responsible for saving many hundreds of Woodstock (and now Spice) machines with his patient explanations of careful cleaning and repair techniques, and eventually all the way up to the ACT replacement and Low Power Repair Kits for machines that have been damaged beyond direct repair. All of my Woodstock machines operate perfectly today due to Bernhard's advice, direct service or replacement Low Power kits. He's indeed a brilliant and kind person, and I appreciate him every day.
