Re: cleaning tuning capacitors
Can I ask a simple question? Why?
The object of the exercise should be that it works properly. Anything else is akin to the people who religiously clean the engine of their car, get the manifolds and rocker chromed and then leave the bonnet open so everyone else can see.
If it's dusty then blow and brush.
If it's greasy wash it in , say, meths.
Certainly relubricate, adjust if necesary and make sure the moving contacts are clean.
If it's corroded then the more exotic methods quoted may well be necesary, but I guess at that stage you're in the lap of the Gods anyway.
