Agreed that most items in the receiver are OK with a water bath. I would
definitely protect the panel meters (by removal first) and try not to soak
things down like transformers, the rectifier or antenna relay coil.
Capacitors or resistors that fail from getting a bath either were in
trouble before or well along the road to chronic health problems.
The drivetrain is going to need something more than a soap and water bath
and probably requires dis-assembly with all gears, bearings and bushings
getting individual cleaning with a parts bath or at the very least the
WD-40 bath and re-lubrication. The clutch pack seems to only yield up its
dirt to a soaking for a few days (or an ultrasonic bath).

"In this denial of the right to participate in government, not merely the
degradation of woman and the perpetuation of a great injustice happens, but
the maiming and repudiation of one-half of the moral and intellectual power
of the government of the world." -- Fredrick Douglass, 1848
