Tuning caps almost NEVER need replacement. Use caution. Canned clean air that is diffused will get rid of the dust. Be careful of the pressure, you do not want to chance bending the plates. I also use a NEW CLEAN very soft bristle brush. Getting any residue from things like contact cleaner will defined the cap. As for the static when turning the cap, look for the thin leaf springs that make contact with the main shaft. Very gently lict and clean the contact area and the shaft area where the leafs make contact. After you can use something like a tookpick to add conductive grease or other such as WD40. When doing this do not get any on Ny part of a plate. Sounds more difficult than it is.

I also read (via an older Van Alstine article) that the grease in the bearings is indeed as you mention (AND the contacts as you mentioned too!), and SHOULD alleviate the tuning noise.
Now I have to get off my lazy you-know-what!
BTW, how's the weather up there? I miss "The Big Smoke" dearly, but D-wife and I should be making the trek up there for the recently announced Rush tour dates this June...

We did not get hit like the East coast but have not see above freezing temps in some weeks. Did get some snow but does not look like the 10 -15 cm forecasted.
