Thanks all...
I'm the dishwasher
so initially I'll try manual cleaning in sodium carbonate, (we have some), in hot water. One of these components is a big ceramic insulated 500pF triple gang, its a pull from a scrap set that I want to use for experiments, but worth saving anyway... it's filthy with a bit of spotty corrosion on the plates. The other is a twin, and is very bad, that'll be the practice one! I do have a friend with an ultrasonic bath cleaner but they're not local, I'll wait rather than use anything too vicious. These capacitors are made in a way they can be disassembled easily if it's needed, though I'd rather not do that unless completely necessary.
I've measured them and will report what the difference is after cleaning, rinsing, drying, and greasing.
Thanks again.
Amie.
