Cleaning tip for vintage stereo gear

A medium bristle toothbrush. It alone is plenty to dust along edges and around knob, switches and buttons. Use with warm, possibly slightly soapy water on tougher items:

Sadly the display is plastic, not glass, and someone got packing tape across it and the glue had long since caused the plastic to bubble. Uncleanable.


After some care and cleaning...there are still scratches and bumps but it's finally clean:
