I have had  excellent luck using a bottle of rubbing alcohol and 
soft rags or Q-tips to  get into tight places. The alcohol makes 
light work of old tobacco stains  and dissolves it immediately
and then evaporates leaving no residue after  wiping with a rag.

The alcohol works great on grungy old aluminum or  steel chassis 
that have baked-on tobacco grime and grease if you
don't  want to use a cleaner that requires rinsing with water.

Some older paints  can be damaged with alcohol so you should
test a small inconspicuous area  first to make sure the alcohol
does not harm the paint,if you need to clean  the painted outside 
cabinet also.
