I wasn't sure where to ask this, so please move if necessary.
I re-acquired an old Sony AV receiver. Set it up and turned it on last night to make sure it all still worked and that smell of old cigarette smoke that has settled into electronics is very noticeable. Man it's bad.
Is there any way to clean this thing up internally? Only thing I can think of is to blow out the insides, wipe down the casing in/out with water/vinegar or vinegar/baking soda and let it sit in the sun, which we don't get much of here due to Winter now.
But what can I do about the actual electronics that are covered in this film of ill-forgotten bad memories and despair?
