I seem to quiet noisy sliders on my old mixer using Graphite dry
lubricant.
Any thoughts? Any adverse effects?


It's generally not a good idea.
But what IS a good idea depends a lot on what kind of sliders your
console has.

They make a spray can of stuff that works pretty well for that. It's not
WD-40, but it is a similar stuff.....I think I have a can of it around here
somewhere.....


Read once more what Scott wrote. What kind of sliders are we talking
about?

Caig Industries makes a great product called Cramolin contact cleaner.
What you want is cleaning and lubrication that is not conductive (that
*is* dielectric [that is - insulating] )

DON'T use graphite! DO use a lubricating contact cleaner that is safe
for plastics. DO use it in a well-ventilated area, unless inhaling
aerosol products is part of your daily routine ;=0

Have fun.
