Default Re: Trying to revive a Goodmans One Ten receiver

Finally some progress on the jammed tuner cap! Last night I did these two things:
1.Sprayed the cap fins with non residue contact cleaner followed by a blow out with compressed air (had the rest of the area covered with tissue to catch the overflow)
2. Added WD40 to the bearing points where the cap axle runs through the chassis.

Had been trying light oil and silicone lubricant before but this only helped for a short while.

But after the approach above I now, 12 hours later, still have an easy moving tuner that also works with good reception and stations where they should be on the scale.

Just wonder now if I should leave the wd40 in or try to clean it out and ad other type of lubrication?
