Sun Type 5 keyboard f*-up

Any keyboard will take boiling water, at least on the circuitry. During manufacture circuit boards are washed after wave soldering in a 200 degree spray (ph isn't neutral, but I don't remember which way it swings). The only concern is the plastics. I've washed all my keyboards (incl Sun) in dishwashers on regular cycle with a little detergent (NOT Cascade or other powder detergents that contain sand - use liquid). I don't recommend using the drying cycle. The trick is to chase the water afterwards and I use isopropynol (rubbing alcohol) to do that. Isopropynol binds to water and will take it away as it flows off the board. Follow with a hair dryer and a day or two in the sun. This also works for rescuing electronics that have been dropped in lakes/oceans if you get to them quickly.
