Altec 436b problem

There's no "Tech Help" forum on this site, but this is the "Gear" forum, so I'll try here. I have several pieces of old Altec tube gear, all of which have been put back into "like new" condition. Unfortunately, the compressor, a 436b, has started distorting no matter how I set the single gain control and no matter what level signal I send into the input.

removing cat pee from recording gear

my friend got an otari mx 7800 hundred today and when he got it home it became apparent that a cat had been using the electronics for channel's 7&8 as a toilet. we took it apart and the inside was dry but the outer cover had to be disassembled and cleaned.though the whole smells like piss so what can i use to get rid if the smell which is mostly in the rack. :(
