I did take the score motor assembly apart for cleaning, but I prefer to leave the remaining components on the board (that's what I've done while going through everything else on the bottom board, I left the score motor for last, everything else on the board has been gone through). As I've done elsewhere on the board, I simply cleaned the major crud off the board itself with alcohol on paper towel.

It was great to have that kind of access to all the switches. Here's the before and after comparison (sorry, I did't mean to attach the before photo again, and I can't seem to delete it).

BTW, this took me far longer than 90 minutes, probably more like 6-7 hours, but I’m glad I did it. I imagine it would go faster now that I've done it once, but I doubt I could do it in 90 minutes!
Hope this gives others confidence to take on this task!
