Quoted from timab2000:This method can't be good for the transformer?? I guess if I tried it, I would try to stay away from that as much as possible.
Transformer is a hunk of metal, I always de rust and paint anyway so no issue.
Quoted from pacmanretro:And the score motor I would think...
Again all metal so no actual harm I have found.
Quoted from dr_nybble:I did it on a machine that stunk of smoke and death, it was either that or the machine had to go. I used Mean Green and very hot water, no problems that I could tell and the amount of brown crud streaming off the machine was astonishing! And yes, it got the stink out. Those bingo guys are very experienced.
Same overall experience. Did this for a bingo as it really stunk and for the smoke stink on two baseball games a while back (not death that I know 
) used bleach not mean green as I did not know better. Came out great no damage to the wood, smell was gone. I strip the games down and don't wash the mech's in situ but strip out and will wash harnesses and parts in my ultrasonic. The diluted orange citrus cleaner is my staple cleaner.
The NL bingo guys do the video thing before they totally strip it down, they are usually very dirty and greasy. Everyone that buys a game says they work flawlessly afterwards.
