Pc Engine Duo / Duo-r / Grey Super Cd Rom 2 Unit Clean

[Hungkuen]

Hi I thought I'd clean the insides of these units. Is it just like the cleaning of the inside of a PC i.e getting it open and giving it a blow out to get all the dust etc removed? I know there are air dusters but I don't see them as being essential especially for the price of them, how they can get blocked and how long they last from what I can remember. I know PCs are generally easier to get into regarding screw types but I think I've got the right tools to get them all open.

I was also thinking of maybe giving the case + controller of my Duo-r a clean, although it isn't too bad esp for its age. It does have a lightly coloured case though and can become yellowed I hear. I think that can also happen to Snes, Nes etc. I could have a go but I don't want to scratch or ruin anything.

Any advice on this would be excellent and really appreciated.

I did a forum search on another forum and found loads of stuff on this. No offense intended here, this forum has been probably the best and for stuff non Neo related. Typical I post first and find it later with a search and when I search first I don't find what I need even if it is somewhere.

I usually just take the console apart and throw the shell in the sink with some dish soap.

i did this with my game cube earlier today. especially the controller looked really filthy when i got it back from a co-worker. now that i cleaned it, it looks and feels brand new again.
