Spilled coffee inside a Mamiya RB67 last Tuesday

Client brought in a RB67 that was sticky everywhere, turns out they knocked a latte into the mirror box. Had to disassemble the whole front standard and clean every leaf of the baffle curtain with alcohol wipes - works fine now but man that was a pain. Anyone else dealt with coffee damage on older gear?

Coffee and cameras never mix, had a similar mess with a Pentax 6x7 once.

Six by seven, actually. It's 6x7 not "six by seven.

Latte cleanup on a RB67 sounds brutal. At least it wasn't soda, that stuff is way worse.
