Philco20 tuning cap cleaning
#2

Hi, I cleaned the tuning caps on two of my 70's by removing them from the chassis ( I had to replace the rubber mounts anyway) and then removed the rotors from the stator frame. I soaked the parts in a solution of "Extreme Green" parts cleaner and hot water. I left them to soak overnight then rinsed with hot water and used a blow dryer to thoroughly dry them. I used a wire wheel and dremel tool to buff the parts, then reassemble. they both turned out great! As for lubing, you can use a little conductive grease or vaseline for areas where you don't need to maintain electrical conductance.
