Dave,
A cloth towel and some Brasso ought to clear up that tarnish pretty well.
I've never tried that Tarn-X stuff, so maybe someone on the reflector can
say more about that. Here's a mixture that is helpful for cleaning really
gunked up metals. Called Ed's Red, it appeared as a gun oil about 4 yrs
ago on the Fidonet Firearms group:
1 quart automatic transmission fluid
1 quart kerosene
1 quart mineral spirits
1 quart naptha
1 ounce lanlolin (optional)
This and an old toothbrush will go a long way :-) Don't use it on parts
containing rubber or plastic, though. It'll mess'em up worse than
badgers on a full moon...
