Variable caps

[Mike Penzo]

I just restored an old Silvertone AM tube radio this weekend.  It now
works fine except there is quite a bit of static and popping when the
main tuning (air variable) cap is rotated.  The cap is quite dusty and
dirty.  Would some electrically conductive grease help in this case also?
Thanks and 73,
Mike
