I omitted to say that I often wash individual Heath parts including cases  
in mild soapy water first to remove the grime and dirt. Kitchen washing up  
liquid works well and kitchen lemon/yellow cleaners are good on crackle 
paint.  Rinse and dry well after cleaning and sparingly lubricate grub screws 
and hinge  parts to prevent subsequent corrosion. I often stand items on a 
central heating  radiator for an hour or two to ensure that they are fully dry, 
followed by much  frowning by my wife - ham radio and eccentric are words 
that often appear  here!
