That was not the question and is besides the point if it is possible, with a little time, to clean the original crystal.

IIRC, I got this can at the real gov’t surplus facility in Richmond in the early 70’s. The original label finally fell off so I printed a new one.

The question was "Any way to polish these up or is it a waste of time"
Therefore, it was a question about polishing the lenses (Crystals), not replacing them.
Sure, possible to replace them, but polishing them will save time hunting down new crystals, time removing the old ones and fitting replacements as well as money.
