I don't think the cleaning sprays used hurt it. I've used tuner cleaner on tube era tuning caps and had it work fine....YMMV.

I only mentioned the tidbit about not using cleaning solvents on the tuning capacitors because I have heard differing opinions on that topic, so that's why I brought it up, I wasn't trying to be mean or disrespectful.
