Ammonia is slightly basic so you will need a weak acid wash. What I would do
is wash the chassis with palmolive with a little vinegar added - Rinse
thoroghly and then dry it in a oven which you can make out of plastic and a
hairdryer idea is to get a flow of heated air.
Tektronix has a procedure for washing test equipment google
Tektronix washing oscilloscope.

My club has a 25KW generator that we always used for Field Day. This
year we discovered a mouse nest in the box that housed all the control
circuits. The ammonia in the urine caused all connections to become
embrittled and break. Still not generating power. Neutralize the
ammonia. Good luck & 73, Tim, W2UI
