It's very easy to disassemble and clean an Acorn Electron. My Electron is a German model, with extra copper shielding.

The top cover and the keys are a bit dirty.
The inside is very clean and beautiful!
Zoom in on the internet voltage converter.
Zoom in on the RF modulator and speaker.
The bottom of the case is a bit dirty, and the sticker with the serial number is getting unstuck. The serial number 07-GLA01-1006484
Under the two boards lay two nice pieces of cardboard paper, presumably to isolate the boards from the shielding.
Under the largest cardboard paper is another piece of shielding.
The inside of the top of the case, with another two serial numbers: Operator 1124 and 476632.
Zoom in on the two serial numbers.
