Many PC board assemblies are given a final wash in what amounts to an
industrial dish washing machine to remove residuals of solder flux.
The only thing I would do is to remove any Nixie tubes from their
sockets, as you might get corrosion between the Nixie pins and the
socket contacts from retained cleaning solution.
Soldered-in Nixie tubes would probably be just fine, but could easily
shatter if exposed to an ultrasonic cleaner. Just record the tube ID
numbers before cleaning, as the printed tube labels will probably be
washed away.

Might not be happy if it is an ultrasonic cleaner....
