Stick the pins of your tube into a lemon, if its 7 or 9 pin tube its easy. If its octal get creative. Citric acid will clean the pins - and very well too. Rinse with water after.. and dont eat the lemon !You can buff the pins to a fine shine and remove all the crud in many different ways. If it makes a difference - I cant say. Cotton swabs spun into a floss and then doused in fine cutting compound (toothpaste) works as well.. sockets.. hmm.. you want the removable type.. or some way of getting 'in there'... or just capacitor clamp the tube and heavy flux then solder pins direct :-)
