Okay, I went for it today. The set is not rare, and anything I can do will be an improvement over what it was like before. I let it air dry, though it's going to be a good while until it sees power (there's lots of wiring issues), I can say it was partially a success (don't know until I plug it in). There was so much caked on grime, I couldn't read the values on the capacitors! Now, I can at least make out what they say. The chassis has two parts, the bottom was the one I washed. I didn't get anything inside the HV cage or the transformers wet. The yoke did get a tad bit wet, not soaked though.
