Hah, not that kind! I know there's a show me your dirtiest innards thread but I was too lazy to look it up. This is a Sony STR-7065.

Does it run? :D

I think it would and I should say the amps work. It was underpackaged and the front pc board has cracked and broke some traces. Jacking into the amp inputs works and you can barely hear the source material at higher volumes.
 
Maybe not as dirty as yours but my Realistic STA-2000 had its share of dirt from years of storage. I think I spent as much on contact cleaner as I paid for the receiver.
 
No idea where the rest of the pictures went but this here was basically the entire inside of my Kenwood KR-4070 before I cleaned it out.

A fair bit of dust as I believe it came out of a garage at one point and then my cat loved to sleep on it.

1997ish. Thinkpad 380XD or ED, I don't quite remember at the moment.

I do have a couple from the 80s though - IBM PC Convertible (5140), a Toshiba T3100 (technically luggable), etc.
 
I was cleaning another unit this afternoon so thought I'd give it a shot with Windex and a toothbrush. What I could scrub came clean but there's still crud on the board. I'll try 409 next. I think whoever suggested it may have lived in a metal shop was right on target. Possibly it was a brake pad plant too!
