I would use a brush to clear away dust and dirt and the IPA with a toothbrush and cotton bud.
Absolutely! Stick it in the sink and give it some welly!! I normally use car shampoo. I literally did this last week on a G07 chassis and a WG.So no dunking it in the sink

I have had mixed results washing chassis, I’ve had them not working afterwards (1 occasion out of maybe 5) so it’s always put me off. I can’t remember the details about the reasons why but it was water damage related. (The chassis was dried out before using), but think it could have been to a coil.
I was told to remove the LOPT when doing it also.

I personally always tend to replace the Flyback when I do a rebuild anyhow although I've washed probably 20+ without any problems. After reading that I'll take more care next time.
Is that because the insulation coating on the copper windings is water-soluble?
some coil have delicate windings and any moisture just get in and rots them just like glass diodes. I imagine you could get away with it sometimes.
I had a digusting k7000 come in this week so i removed flyback, horizontal drive coil, lin coil, crt socket, caps and lin coil and put it in the dishwasher- came out looking like new
