I clean the bearings of the tuning capacitor with Dexoit D5 or equivalent.You only put a drop or two on each bearing on the tuning capacitor and then work it back and forth..Then you put a drop of turbine oil on each bearing and then work it back and forth down the tuning scale the same way.
You also can do this same procedure for the tuning shaft that holds your knob that's froze up.Here is the oil I use and it's superb.I use it on my furnace motor as well.
