Preventive Maintenace on Tube radios?
#1

I have a nicely restored radio that was done by a well-qualified person, and this radio is quite special to me.  It will live in climate-controlled environment, kept unplugged and probably rarely used.  Should the radio be used periodically for any reason, are there things that should be done as far as cleaning the mechanical parts to prohibit corrosion, periodic inspection of the chassis for signs of deterioration, etc.  Thanks for any advice.
