Fluffy SU-8080

I recently got this amp, mostly for sentimental reasons. I had this amp when I was stationed in Misawa Japan. Of course the seller exaggerated "a bit" in his description. Crackling, humming, etc. Should be a "fun" project. :scratch2:

I've vacuumed the inside, found a dead spider and apparent mouse droppings. Pulled the face (all the knobs were a bear to pull off).
The unit seems to sound fine through headphones, although there is a base 60Hz hum which does not increase with the volume. I'm waiting for my Caig chemicals to arrive, then I'll clean it up proper and determine the cause of the hum. Hi-Fi Engine had the service manual, so I'm good to go.
 
I'm a bit puzzled as to which are the original output modules on this unit. The cursive Toshiba, or the T modules?

How did the mouse get inside or were the droppings just scooped down the ventilation in the top plate?

And yes they are very tight on this one. I have one myself which needs a complete run down on the switches. ALL switches. Mine does not have any hole big enough for a mouse to get in and out.

Looks to me like the cover was left off after someone did some internal inspection and didn't even bother to sit it back over the electronics!
