The cost of fully stripping down and cleaning your camera, will be many times the value of a good AE-1. This series of cameras does not like being immersed in water, and shorts are a common feature after such incidents. Obviously your 'few drops' scenario is way off - otherwise you would still have a working camera - unless there is evidence of the camera being knocked.
