Brasso works great and leaves a film that helps reduce oxidation of the
silver plating. Just finished restoration of an HT-41...looks brand new.

Comet and a toothbrush.
The problem is keeping it looking fresh without affecting performance. Maybe
a very light coat of clear acrylic if the RF doesnt get them too warm.
If youre real talented maybe a fast dip in a solder pot after cleaning or
even silver plating.
