The 40-201 chassis has a 2-gang tuning capacitor that needs cleaning. I have seen several illustrations of before and after units that look like new after cleaning. What process is used? Icon_rolleyes

I am thinking that perhaps using an ultrasonic bath would do the trick. One area that needs extra caution is the bearings in these units. Lubrication definitely needs to be added after cleaning before rotating the parts.
