Advice for vintage gear cleaning/restoration?

I've got an old Marantz 2285B that I bought new back in the late 70's. I'm going to go through it, clean her up and put her back into service in my second system.
Any cleaning or restoration advice out there? Except for an intermittent hum that is probably a ground issue, she still runs like a champ and I prefer that she still does when I'm done!

I would think about changing the big electrolytics caps in the power supply. Lytics have a limited life, and 30 year old lytics probably are not filtering like they should.

If the case is rusted or the cover and it can be painted or submerged, get some stuff called Jasco rust killer. paint it on there, its a liquid let it do its thing, wash it off and then paint it with some spray paint or something
