Go to an auto supply store and get a can of brake cleaner. Be careful and use it in a well ventilated area, as it's some nasty stuff. Also, be careful around plastics, as it will cloud or discolor them.
Checking voltages, you have to have the amplifier powered on. If you want to be sure that there wont be further damage to other components, remove the rectifier tube, probably a 5Y3.
