Basically what you'll find inside is a very fine-thread rack and pinion. You
might be successful in
cleaning the pair with something or other, but all traces of residue should
be removed before
closing it up again. Now is you had some very good quality instrument oil,
(Starret ?) you might
try it. Otherwise, leave it clean and dry.

For cleaning stuff and leaving NO residue try alcohol, preferably 90%,
followed by acetone followed by Xylene which takes out all acetone and
leaves no residue. Followed by proper lube of course.
