I just remove dust, spider webs and things like that. Rust is treated with a little Naval Jelly and any tube shields are wirebrushed. Other than that, they stay the way they are. I do clean the CRT, safety glass (if equipped) and make the cabinet look as nice as possible (I do need to do some finish repair on one). There is only one set I have that needs total cabinet and chassis restoration (RCA 16" wood). I was considering giving a chassis a bath, but with my luck, I would have fried critical parts. I find a paint brush and shop vac do just fine.
