Eric, nice looking chassis and a lot of room underneath. You may not believe the last statement but it is true. The top side should clean up well, you might try some naval jelly. Messy stuff but effective. What ever you use please remove the tubes and mask off the tube sockets. Those are wafer style sockets and getting anything on them, especially liquid will run down between the wafers. You can't clean it out. All sockets are the same but the rectifier with it's high voltages will result in smoke. Don't ask me how I know. Keep anything away from the sockets!
Others will disagree for certain but on something as clean as yours I would use a small wad of 000 or 0000 steel wool held in a hemostat. I squirt some WD40 on the pad and scrub away. Use a rag afterwards and then your air compressor. Make certain you get all the fines of the wool off the chassis. Do the same blowing under the chassis but careful around the coils and fine wires.
Do a test run on the front and see if it doesn't clean up that area that looks like runs of some kind
Good luck, Jerry
