Sure. You can clean up metal elements with fine steel wool, and re-seal it
with varathane (or similar materials). Connection points can be cleaned up
and treated with a conductive lube. If you're restoring an old antenna,
you'll also want to think about replacing all the hardware (nuts & bolts)
with stainless steel, if available.
