I agree skipp, just lube it up and use it... unless it was buried in a pile of sand I cant see many benefits to cleaning it, other than getting familiar with the inside of a duplexer. Generally I don't ever open duplexers, a pain in the neck to take a part and way to easy to mess up putting them back together. The only time I had to do that was on a sinclair one when I dropped the rod into the can...oops.
