I've taken sets completely apart and cleaned the cabinet then sprayed the chassis with heavy duty degreaser, brushed them down and hosed them out with hot water, (remove the speaker and stay away from any power transformers) after they dry out for a week they are usually fine.

Sometimes this is the only way to get rid of Tobacco odors.

I don't recommend this on a set that isn't your own or one that you care about a lot since there is a risk of doing damage.

Solid State stuff is pretty well sealed and everything is plastic mostly so it usually survives just fine as long as it's completely dry before power is applied again.
