[hads]

kids spilled a drink on my 301.10 reciever so i took it apart and it wasnt that much ,so i just dabbed it up with a wet cloth and a dry one ,when it was spilled on the 2.5 amp 250 v fuse blew on it so i let it set for a day to completly dry and changed the fuse and it blew again ,, is the reciever hopless now???? i have my avr-x hooked up to it and has ran flawless till the kids destructive habits kicked in

If it keeps blowing fuses it has shorted something out and is most likley beyond casual repair, 301.10 are cheap now save it for parts and get a new one

You didn't say what the drink was? Sugar would leave a sticky coating, perhaps conductive.

I have a 301.013 that had smoke damage (given to me, was in a house fire).
I took it apart, washed it with hot water , dried completely for couple days, and have been using it ever since.

Being it is dead anyhow, I suggest a good spraying with hot water, dry it good (hairdryer), let it set a couple days so all moisture gets out, and try it.
Done this many times with keyboards that got the coffee treatment and other electronic items. Just make sure it drys completely.

I think your spill happened with power on, so it may have blown something, in which case a new 301 is the cheapest way out.
