Hi Peter I did see a web site advising on cleaning capacitors at one time
you have to be a it careful what you use. It might be worth looking in the
emrfd Yahoo Group....Usually quite interesting....with Wes Hayward readily
available. The problem is using anything too violent removes the shaft
lubrication, which is amost impossible to replace.

The other possiblity might have been the GR group.

I guess water detergent and an U/S cleaner might be the best....... but dont
rely on my rememberances :-)) This is based on ceramic supports be careful
with anything else.
