Cigarette Smoke Harm Solid State Unit ?


I rescued an older Marantz receiver . The interior is covered with cigarette tar . Do I need to clean off any particular components or should I leave it be . This is a working unit worth $1,000 cleaned up . 10Q

Getting the reciever to kick the 60-a-day habit should help! Seriously though, try and speak to someone who is professionally involved with cleaning computer equipment and suchlike(keyboards, etc) as they should be able to give you an idea of the best way to clean the unit up. Internally the tar will attract more dust and long term this can lead to heat build-up and maybe component failure. Good luck, regards, Richard.
