I'm sure what happened was that the deoxit de-tuned the oscillator and RF trimmers on the tuning cap. I have made this mistake before. You might try blowing the tuning capacitor with a hair dryer for a few minutes. I did that once and it cleared up the problem. Otherwise, you'll have to re-align the radio.

I have cleaned dirty tuners by spraying a small amount of control cleaner in the tuner and then running heavy paper between the plates. I've used this method on noisy tuners that wouldn't budge otherwise.
