Toby,
If you have access to an SS White Airbrasive micro sandblasting unit,
cleaning the pins with a very find grit would probably remove less metal
than ordinary sandpaper. An Airbrasive will also not impart any
mechanical stresses to the glass or glass-to-metal seals.

Just protect any nearby glass with masking tape, as the Airbrasive unit
will etch glass effectively.
I use my unit often. Some Maker spaces might have one available.
By the way, what is a "Monoscope"? I've never heard the term before.

Hi,
Recently bought a couple of Monoscope CK1414F10C tubes in varying
condition. One has quite corroded base pins, anode cap, and target pin,
apparently due to acid disintegration of the original packing foam.

I believe the pins are likely nickel. Is there a recommended restoration
technique for them? It seems sanding first, but then what treatments or
tinning?
Also: The base pins seem to be 0.09" and the target pin 0.08". Slide on
sockets for the former seem to be fairly easy to find. Target diameter
not so much. And is there a still-available connector that can snap on
to the anode?
Thanks for any assistance!
