But if all of the boards are visible, not a unit where there are mutiple levels of board over board; you can unplug it, feel around, and where you see stickiness, spray with contact cleaner. If there are no wires to break or components to snap off the board, you might want to wipe the area with a sponge, rather gently. That will attempt to soak up the cola's harmful acids. But as we don't know, tube or solid state, or the brand; you might want to be carefull around those things that look like soda cans, or V8 cans.
