water from basement window (new house, had no idea) flooded right on to the 2600. I poured water out of the console. The Sony CRT was sitting in a shallow bit of water as well. Anyway I took the 2600 apart, cleaned with IPA, kept a fan on the motherboard for a day. A couple days later I reassembled and it works great! Oddly enough I think I tightened the rf cable inside and fixed some wavy “snow” that had been plaguing it too.
