You may want to reconsider using WD-40, unless you plan to wash it 
all out thoroughly with a residue-free solvent before you reassemble 
the radio.  In addition to solvents, WD-40 contains some really 
crappy non-synthetic oil that is notorious for oxidizing and gumming 
up after the solvent evaporates.

The part of WD-40 that is useful for cleaning the gear train is the 
kerosene/mineral spirits solvent.  Just buy a jug of kerosene or 
mineral spirits at the hardware store (or odorless lamp oil, if 
you're feeling really flush).  These solvents evaporate cleanly.  All 
the benefit of WD-40 without the residue problem.

Best regards,
