In one of my previous jobs I serviced rented sound equipment.
Due to end of contract I received an amplifier that had serviced a
taylors shop.
The amp's PCB was covered with a thick layer of pins and needles that
-over the years- had fallen of the taylors table into the cooling grid
of the amp placed below said table. None of the pins managed to create
a short, the amp worked fine.
Another amp had been working for years in a greenhouse, also placed
strategically below a flower-pot-arranging table.
This time the PCB was covered in a fat layer of dirt, small weeds
actually growing amidst the electronic parts on the PCB.
Apart from a noisy volume potmeter, this amp worked OK as well.
(I guess plants really like music...)
