Thanks Scott!
I was just worried about whatever material the Mackie pots are made of
having problems with the chemicals because I thought I read someplace
about plastic pots vs metal and carbon pots (old stuff) having
different requirements as far as flushing and re-lubing.


Yup, but you probably won't see carbon pots on many new designs today,


Uh ?

What do you think the resistive element on all those Alps, Panasonic, Alpha
etc pots is made of ?


Plastic with embedded carbon. Not pure carbon.

You can get pure carbon pots still; the Type Js are still in the A-B
catalogue and some of the real cheapies from China are carbon element.
