I collect cameras as well and we run into this a lot.
The best ideas we have come up with:
Qtips and Alcohol as a first cleaner
Light wipe down with Freebreez Order reducer
Placing in a baggie with a number of dryer sheets
Placing in a baggie with a pan of baking soda (the larger surface area helps speed things up)
And Grandmas favorite way A nice spring breeze another words hours in the open air (JUST remember to bring it in at night)
Only thing I haven't been able to pull out of a camera with this was Cat Piss. And I really burned me having to throw a $50.00 motor drive away. But I saved the cameras and lenses (ebay purchase)
My dad smoked so much in his office that his hunting trophies look like they are made from carmel Killed me to have to toss his antelope and deer head mounts BUT damn they stunk and the taxidermist told us they could never be cleaned properly. None of us three boys wives would let them near our houses.
Luckily Dad kept his Heathkit Mohican reciever in a different room for most of it's life. A quick cleaning and new batteries and all the world comes blasting through.
