On my 1280 I removed the tuner to replace the rubber mounts, (record player motor mounts work perfect) while it was out I completely disassembled it and cleaned it.
I washed that dirty area in our parts washer at work, everything in there is pretty well sealed or made of plastic and reasonably impervious to a brief hosing down.

Sorry, should have been clearer. I don't know that there's anything wrong with the existing tuner. It's just dirty, rusty and missing a couple modules.
I'll definitely try cleaning and using the original one first and pick any bits I might need from the spare.
Thanks for the tip about the mounts. I think they might work in my Philco 60 radio too. Better order up a bunch.
Speaking of mounts... As I feared the weight of that power transformer mushed down the new chassis mount in that corner. I'll shim it up with some hard rubber strip insulation.
