I ground off the top of the 3 rivets with a Dremel tool and the shield came off nicely. This allows you to get to the 3 screw/lug connections and 2 soldered ground connections to the tuning cap.

Being somewhat klutzy, I put some plastic shields around the coils to protect them a bit from straying screw drivers and soldering irons. Yes, I managed to melt some plastic in the process.

I took the dial off the tuning cap so I would be able to dunk the entire cap into the Metal Rescue de-rusting solution. We’ll see how it comes out.
Hey Bob,
If you have a little to spare I could use a good soak too.....

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
