I would be very wary of solvents on the old paint. Try very dilute soapy water, or a non-rinse clear kitchen cleaner (eg. "Dettox" style)? That stuff is nearly as powerful as commercial machine degreasers! Just use a damp cloth rather than soaking things, both for the cleaner and for removing that after its soaked. -

Hello, remember one video or other mentioning that tiny springs don’t do well in mesh baskets used to put parts in before using an ultrasonic machine. sure enough yesterday on my first parts cleaning the click spring for my st36 slipped partially into the mesh and was delicate to recover. So I wonder what is the alternative should I put the springs directly in the mason jar with the bridges? -

Someone else posted what appears to be the same (or incredibly similar) movement on here some years ago; never definitely identified but it may add some clues? -
Does look like it could be a Forster. Not a brand I know anything about,

For info, fine sanding sticks such as the ones below, in the high grit grades, are excellent for restoring plastic crystals (and some metal casings). I start at 1000 grade on a crystal that has bad scratches, or probably 3000 for one that is just fuzzed with wear, then work up to at least 7000, working slightly more around the curved edge with each increasingly fine grade, so as not to leave scratches or flats/facets from only working on the main face area. Some Polywatch or Brasso etc. after that gets it back to a perfect shine. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09HZZ628K/?th=1
