Default Re: cleaning tuning capacitors

Vaseline is not conductive at all - it does resist acids, though, hence its use for battery terminals.
It is not a very good lubricant as a heavy grease for things like tuning gangs, though. When these devices were new, the grease used was a brown colour, and quite thick.
