Hi John,
I use a soft cloth soaked in isopropyl rubbing alcohol to wipe clean all of
my roller inductors (employ one ach in my transmatch, as well as me HB
linear amplifier)...
I hold the dampened cloth against the coil body & turn the crank a few
times, back & forth (amazing how blackened the cloth becomes from grime &
dirt previously unseen!).
The final touch is made by adding a couple of DROPS of castor oil onto the
roller mechanism, & all moving parts.
This technique has worked for me in excess of 30 years now.
