Tuner condensation

I noticed just lately on my Kenwood 8300 tuner the clear plastic at the edges has a slight moisture buildup. I was wondering how dangerous was this, and should I open up the tuner and possibly treat and clean this up? On some dry days I noticed it to be clear and fine and yes of course on higher humidity days the buildup at the edges only seems to appear. I am living at the moment in a tropical climate in Florida, so yes I would have to say that this is most common to this area. I was just wondering from some of my fellow Audiogoners what their opinions and what they had to do to remedy this problem.Thank you all who do respond.

I also have a 8300 but havent noticed any moisture.My humidity levels are lower than yours however.I dont have a good fix except possibly an occasional blast from a can of air or a vacuum cleaner to dry things out.I know thats a pain if its in a rack or an inconvienent[sp] location.The above post is good to remember.Would you happen to have an owners manual?Thanks,Bob

Thank you for your response. I do not leave it on 24/7 so this could account for the moisture buildup.

Try the Yahoo FM tuner forum, they might have some ideas.

It's possible about the Yahoo forum; however, there is an old Chinese proverb(isn't it amazing these are things we can pretty well universally appreciate from the Chinese?)that states ~ 'it's better to spend 5 minutes with an expert than talk endlessly with the less knowledgeable'.I think this forum provides more expertise in these matters than Yahoo.
