Default Re: cleaning tuning capacitors

If you can dismantle it without unsoldering anything then I would do that. If it is brass then you could polish the vanes after the washing machine. A lollipop stick may fit nicely between them depending on how miniature the thing is. If it is aluminium don`t leave it too long in the washing machine as the detergent may attack the aluminium..
