Dip in Cillit Bang limescale remover or Rubbing Alcohol. Push cotton bud down inside to remove the crud once softened

That Cillit Bang is good even around the house - worth a try plus cotton buds are just the right size.
We use it all the time for cleaning connectors Ted, it does the job a treat. I buy it in bulk when on special offer at the supermarket 😊

This time it's been a bit of a hybrid job - 3 hours dipped in white vinegar - they came up a treat - then some Cillit Bang  squirts followed by the cotton buds - they look brilliant - washed afterwards with water then a load of WD 40 to drive out any moisture.

Thanks for the tips both of you.
