Dave,
I appreciate the techhy answer. I've never disassembled a radio or any other electronic device entirely before, so if anything further goes wrong, I just may take you up on your generous offer.
What if I just leave it alone and don't try cleaning it at all? What kind of damage will I be doing to the player, and how long before it will start chewing on my CDs? I know that's gotta be a relative sort of answer, but I can tell you that I think a pretty good GULP of coffee got into the system, not just a sip.
If you think it would be most wise, I'll bundle up the thing and send it well-padded straight to your workshop! Thanks a million.

By the way, I liked your first response; no offense taken, believe me. You sound like a fun party guy. Only 1,000 miles between CO and TX; shine up your benz and take a road trip!

Cheers!
S Car Go
