[Hallicrafters] SX-62

[Barrie Smith]

Hello:

Several months ago I bought a "very good condition" SX-62.  The fellow must
have sent me a different SX-62, because the one I received was in much less
than very good condition.

The biggest problem, that I've more-or-less solved, was a bent main tuning
capacitor.  It now tunes across the whole dial without grinding, scrapping
or shorting out.

However, the capacitor (and the rest of the receiver) is very dirty.  I'd
like to clean the cap while it's out of the radio.  It doesn't appear to be
corroded, just dirty.  Compressed air removes nothing.

Any suggestions?
