Your set has been home to a critter, probably a Mouse or a family of Mice.
I would definitely not use compressed air to blow it out, no telling what bacteria lurks in there.
I'm working on a similarly infested set now, I washed it with Bleach first and then soapy water, several times.
Generally speaking mild soap and water will not harm the chassis provided it's allowed to dry thoroughly before attempting to power it up and you avoid getting paper parts such as labels and Capacitor Covers wet.
(Filter Cap covers are especially bad, they instantly disintegrate if they get wet!)
I spray a heavy coat of Clear paint or Lacquer on the paper labels to give them some water resistance.
Care has to be taken around the power transformer so it doesn't get water inside because it's very difficult to get out.
