Ok, thanks. It'll be a long process then, as it is all over the  
place. The stuff gets everywhere.

I found two sellers: chipforbrains and chipsforbrains. Are they the  
same? I saw that chipforbrains (without s) sells some pot kits, and I  
have contacted him.

The power connector is also gone. Previous owner used a 24V AC  
transformer from a pinball machine (weighing about 10 kg...), and the  
arcing has all but melted the connector. I did not see a direct  
replacement connector at Farnell or RS. Any ideas?
