Default Air filter cleaning

Has anyone tried cleaning an original air filter with any success? I've got an original 212CW I'd love to save if possible. Any suggestions?

They were holding a light oil originally,which turns yellow as well over time.
I've had some sucess with an air hose and wide clear mailing tape applied all around the element to try & grab the particles as you blow air through the element.
I'd avoid any solvents,as they usually disenegrate the element.
