Default Cleaning Equipment exposed to tobacco smoke

I recently acquired a nice 1950 shortwave receiver but has been exposed to a

Anyone have good method of removing the film without damaging decals on
front panel?

Tnx...Norm VE3CZI


Hi Norm

I suspect the "decals" are more likely to be screen printed with paint
rather than hobbyist water transfers unless they are on the back of a
glass dial. If so, you can probably use the standard method of surface
cleaning electical equipment, methylated spirits. You might like to
check a small spot of paint first.
