Jim if you decide to wash the tuning capacitor, be careful of the mica compression trimmers at the top. You really don't want to have water collect between the plates and not be able to dry quickly.
I really don't remember their exact style, but release the tension with the adjusting screw or nut so there is plenty of space between the movable plate and mica so there is an air gap. If possible remove the mica sheet entirely and put in a safe place for reassembly.
