NAD and a NASTY surprise when I got it home!

1990's Marsall JCM 900 Dual Master 50 watt in a 1/12 combo. Amp looks and sounds GREAT but I have a problem and it's a REALLY nasty problem. Seems a cat has been using the amp as a litter box .
The amp suddenly cut out and the lead to the speaker was coming apart. You have to pull the back panels to get to the speaker connections and when I did I saw this white stain in the bottom of the amp. When I stuck my head down there to get a closer look and got a whiff I almost gagged. It stinks BAD!
I bought it from a dealer but it was consigned. playing it in the shop I didn't see anything or smell the mess in the shop it was only when I got it home.
Got a call in and the owner of the shop still has not called me back.

This SUCKS (more like STINKS LOL)

How about doing a badly needed clean up of a 65 DR that's been sitting for a few
decades in the basement, to find the decomposed remains of a rat in the reverb tank.

Mojo!

Google "anti icky poo". The stuff really works wonders. If you like the amp and would keep it if it didn't stink, try this stuff.

This stuff is amazing. I use it on my hockey gear and it kills the smell dead.

In My experience, once an animals "smell" gets into wood or other pourus sunstances, its just better to replace. If the amp sounds that good, I'd invest in a new box from Mojo and be done with it. I'm also highly allergic to it so way worth it to get it all nice and clean again. Mojo is mojo. cat piss is NOT mojo.

I pulled a Peavey Delta Blues off of a high shelf at a pawn shop once to take a closer look. It had a layer of rat feces all across the top. Guess it had been up there a while.
