There is a very good guide to tuner cleaning here:

http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?t...og.144163/

which goes into the method for cleaning and lubricating tuning capacitors. The tuning capacitors on these Philco sets are old enough and corroded enough to look like something you may find in a bronze age archaeological dig. This link is a sticky in the tuner section that has 300 posts in it. Some are repeats of others and the devices described here are usually much newer and cleaner than an old Philco.
