Blow dry  with the air line and repeat on the next small  area.



GM gentlemen,
 
KC6TRU offered some sage advice on cleaning.  Just one further  observation.  
If you use an air compressor, keep the pressure down as  damage can 
occur.......esp. around a tuning capacitor or the fine wire leads  associated with 
various coils.  
 
I have used a simple green mixture, plain tap water and finally a distilled  
water rinse successfully to clean up grunge and nicotine deposits and never 
had  problems.  The compressed air removes much of the moisture.  The  Florida 
sun takes care of the remainder.
 
Just another $0.02 worth.
