RE: bed bugs infestations in vintage components

First, are you sure it's bedbugs? Double-check. It's extremely rare, if not unknown, to find them in electronics.

Freezing works, as long as it's at 0-degrees F for at least 4-5 days. (I'd give it a week.)

There are bedbug sprays that are effective: Sterifab (for fabrics), Permacide P1, and Bedlam.

The best might be to have an exterminator freeze-spray the unit, if they would let you bag it up and bring it to them. If I was mucking around with the unit, I'd be spraying my bench with Bedlam and keeping the unit bagged up until I knew it was ok. Bedbug treatment can be extremely expensive and really disrupt your lives for several weeks, so don't take chances.
