Battling Mildew?

I was thinking Isopropal Alcohol, but a higher concentration than the standard 70%

I'm going to try making a bleach/water mix, putting it in a spray bottle, and spraying down and wiping the wood only.  For the monitor and transformer I have decided just to use compressed air to get off as much as I can, vacuum it up and not try any liquid cleaning methods.  Of course this means I will still have some level of mildew in the cabinet.  I just wanted to prevent it from growing inside the MAME PC I put in there.  Guess I'll see what happens in a few years, heh.

That should work well, too. That'll definitely kill the mildew. And it's been tested safe for electronic components. I just don't know how well it'll actually remove anything.

Cool, I may try that later also.  Maybe spray the outside of my MAME PC with it, as well as the entire bottom of the cab, whenever I finally install it.  Then again I guess it will just evaporate?  So wouldn't be too useful for preventative measures.  Anyway, I am pretty much done cleaning it for now (thank god.)  Next step is artwork restoration.  Just wish the local Busy Beaver had their heat guns in stock.  Always something...

I think the alcohol is the way to go with your issue also.  Just make sure you use Kills primer or something like that when you go to prime your cabinet.
