While isopropanol is good wash a trip through the dish washer works every
time for me. Air dry or a cool oven to get out any trapped water.
Did that on a trs80 that was megga nasty once and it came out better than
factory. Keyboard and all.
Water and detergent is safe for most everything.

This is really good information I am going to try this on one computer in my
collection. This unit is so Gummed up by Cigarette smoke I can't even stand
to be in the same room with it, It actually makes my sinuses get irritated
and makes me sneeze while this machine is on. I opened it up and there was a
sticky film all over the components, almost like a fungus growing on it from
cigarette tar.. I was going to get rid of it as it smelled so bad, so I hope
this works..

Seriously? you can run electronics through the dishwasher?
Do you have to stop it before it goes through the dry cycle?
I have a '64 I don't value especially that I'll try this on... anything
else I should know before this venerable machine gets opened up?

I just tried this with my old dusty CARDIAC (you know, the cardboard
computer). Ewwww, what a mess.
