Zapping is only a temporary cure.  Depending on where you live (humidity) the 
dendrites will sooner or later return.  Remove the music rack, then take out 
the big bolts and screws holding the drawbar mounting plate (protect the wood 
with cardboard so you don't scratch it with the sharp ends of the mounting 
plate), remove the four screws holding the vib switch box, tilt it up gently 
and you can get to the box for cleaning.  There may be dust, spiders and 
other debris in there that zapping can remove. Hey you can do the Perc box 
while you're in there.

I hope this helps,

Stuart
