Get yourself a soft paint brush from the dollar store and they come in a 2 or 3 pack of different sizes..Take a brush along with a small shop vac or regular vacuum with small attachments and brush and suck up the dust and dirt.You will get 85 to 90% of the dirt that way and then you go over things with a Windex dampened cloth.
Honest amplification is better than excessive 2nd order distortion anytime.

Or now that the weather is getting warmer, my preferred method is to take the job into my backyard. Using the same brushes, and some canned air, I set the dust free. Maybe it will find a new home in one of my neighbors computers or amps.
By using Mikey's method of getting rid of most of the dirt, you avoid creating the "mud" you might if you start off with a wet cleaning.
Just hope and pray that the amp wasn't used in the frying area of a restaurant kitchen. Greasy dust ain't no fun!
Vacuum and fine hair brushes. BTW I owned a KA-7300 that I gave to a friend 35 years ago. I bought for the low noise preamp, dual power supplies and the great feel of that large volume knob! Looked him up on fb last fall - He still has the amp and works great! My Phillips TT (model 212) he also purchased hadn't survived the years (or a half dozen moves) though
Three most important things in Audio reproduction: Keep the noise levels low, the power high and the room diffuse.
Good idea! There is a lot of harmful junk in that stuff. I was shocked when I read the label. Better safe that sorry!
