Smoke contaminated component

Hi. I just purchased a vintage Marantz 2100 FM tuner (via eBay) and did not think to ask if the previous home/studio was smoke free. I have removed the top and I am letting it breath. Has anyone had success in removing the odors from within the cabinet? The metal cover also smells and I plan to wipe it down with hydrogen peroxide solution. Now I know "buyer beware". Thanks in advance. J.

Great recommendations. Thanks all. Daily, for the last two weeks I have wiped down the chassis with pledge and microfiber clothe (excluding the plexi-glass on the Marantz 2100 FM tuner) All the while I have left 1/4 pound of dark roast coffee beans placed within the cabinet with the top unscrewed and slid back. My office no longer smells of smoke from the receiver, nor does it smell like coffee. In a few days I plan to get rid of the beans and plug it in. I'll report back again.
