Time to cook the 7018ac to see if you can restore them,,,7018 is easily affected by moisture..at least you have figured out the problem,,a lesson well learned is a lesson you will remember..before they invented memory pills,,,mom just used to give us boys a slap,,,improved our memories dramatically,,,
Some of those lies people tell about me, are true
