Before above, after below.
The buttons were all encrusted, unlevel and stiff. Isopropyl alcohol, diluted Dawn dishsoap & WD-40 contact cleaner did wonders.

Decided to clean the Technics sa-450 amp instead. Buttons are a mess, inside is full of dust. The sound from the test I ran, is superb (for my flat). See collage pic for before #technics #technicssa450 #technicsamp #vintageamp #amplifier #hifi #vintagehifi

Bought this #technicssa450 #amp w/zero knowledge if it worked ($13 no power cord). It WORKS! Well... it turns on anyway. Have yet to hook it up to speakers. I'm a sucker for a pretty, lit-up face & she does not disappoint. This one is going in my bedroom. Enjoy dog eating kibbles ASMR. #vintageamp
