Bummer on the mold.
But I try and take a "make lemonade" attitude on these kinds of things.
I suggest opening up the machine and using some canned air, blow the dust out. Pay particular attention to any place you can see daylight from the back of the faceplate.
Probably a good time to do a general tune up of brakes, belts, switches/pots and tension (if you have the right tools and the service manual).
Then, vacuum the outside of the machine and wipe down all the metal surfaces you can easily reach with hydrogen peroxide then high percentage alcohol. Be careful not to soak any rubber sleeves, rollers, washers with the alcohol. Clean the rubber last with something like 409.
Then, vacuum the room thoroughly. If you have a shelves of tapes, I'd unload them and vacuum that area than the tapes boxes last.
If you're like me, most of this stuff (except for the peroxide bit) are things I've put off,.. forever? So I don't feel like it's that big a deal and I can forget about it for another decade.
