Don't forget lacquer thinner--an almost universal organic
solvent...but you'd need a closed container for it as it will flash
off in a few minutes...<br>

<div>Hi Everyone</div>

<div>Any thin solvent or lubricant should eventually wick into
the gap between the two concentric shafts but the more
volatile the liquid the quicker it will evaporate so a sealed
container might be required. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>How about removing the tuning capacitor from the receiver
and putting it shaft downwards into a suitable sized clean jam
jar with a small amount of paraffin in the bottom and leaving
it to soak for a while with a lid on the jar? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>A more volatile alternative to paraffin would be white
spirit (household paint thinner) which I use as a degreasing
agent when cleaning panels prior to priming and painting.</div>
