After doing a little more reading I guess it is not the tuning capacitors, but the rectangular boxes with 2 screws on each of them ? Is this correct ?

How do I go about opening the trimmers ?

How do I go about cleaning the mica sheets and plates ?


***** So Chuck ****
In re-reading your note, it might be the tuning capacitors OR the timmers OR both.

So perhaps the first order of buisness is to clean the tuning capacitor. Again any ideas on how to "clean" . .. Thanks.
