Someone gave me an Apple II plus that had been stored
in their garage. When I opened it, it was full of
spider webs and an old mouse nest (FOR REAL!) I
disassembled it completely and washed it in the
kitchen sink with dish soap thinking it was already
gone and I couldn't hurt it anymore. When I dried it
off and reassembled it, it actually powered up and
ran!

It still works perfectly to this day  :'D
