Maybe jewelry cleaner ??? That would be a suggestion or some silver cleaner.
Any suggestions on what to use to clean these 100+ year old tuners??? I don't want to ruin them. Thanks.

+1 It takes away from the value. Nothing like a piece of history that has aged and shows its beauty.Originally Posted by mrmudcat

No, I don't want them like a new penny. I just want to get the gunk out of the gears without removing the patina. Sorry, I wasn't clear.:

Hey brother check out http://stewmac.com/ At home if you got 3&1 oil or wd 40 with that lil red tube and a few light shots in the gear
Also any kind of machine oil would work.:

Also vaseline in the gear itself works great wipe off excess or better yet use sparingly.Graphite lubricants/liquid graphite for nuts(nut sauce etc etc ) would also work in my opinion. I buy a few lappys from time to time and truthfully wd40 and a toothbrush and or some vaseline on after(lubricant) is all iv'e used.

Also for practicality purposes stewmac has good repros cheap that fit most without adding additional screw holes(out of the question in my opinion). You might want to put on a set for playing out and tuck the old set with those delicate crumbly buttons and sticky gears away.If at home playing yea id clean them and enjoy them for my own self enjoyment.:

sorry Strum, I thought you wanted to remove the tarnish look. Shows what I know.
Every time I see someone direct a comment at "Strum" I think they are talking to me. Maybe the wife is right, I could be a little self centeredOriginally Posted by street music

Seriously, I for one don't think your self-centered. It isn't all about you...it's all about your guits.
