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. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

wrote in message ... Hello all ! I'm in the process of cleaning out the spider webs from a Mackie 1604VLZ mixer and would like to know which Caig product would be most appropriate for the faders, pots and the ribbon cable connectors. I didn't realise Caig made sledgehammers or high explosives. Any model of the former used correctly will suffice or as much as possible of the latter, preferably shaped for maximum effect when detonated. Phildo |

I didn't know that Fred was so well rounded. Was he from Hamilton Beach? No, he invented the Waring blender. No joke, he really did. I figured that. I didn't know he mixed music, though. He had one of the greatest big bands of all time. He might have been the greatest ever if Stan Kenton and Benny Goodman hadn't been in the way. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." I have a Fred Waring "Campfire Sing Along" music book somewhere around here. Stuff like "Little Brown Jug", Give My Regards to Broadway" etc... My how times have changed! Just another thanks to all that offered information! I appreciate it. |

But they still sell most of the A-B items including the Mod Pot line and the old Type J pots. Try www.clarostat.com and see if that gets you there. Otherwise call 1-800-537-6945, which I have listed on my bulletin board as their number. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I think they were afraid that if they didn't specify a brand people might get the greasy kid stuff, and if they did specify a brand they'd feel responsible for pots failing (maybe years) after a cleaning. I remember when their first mixers came out, they made a point of the pots being sealed, and none of this stuff would be needed. You'd know betterm of course, since you wrote a lot of their manuals. I use CRC QD Electronic Cleaner. *Only if the pot is then too dry and rough do I put a littleDeOxitin it. I use the D5 spray. It flushes the surface contaimination away and the deoxIT works wonders on improving the connection. I have had amazing results from it. One of my CRC products did some dmamge to som plastics, so I do not use it anymore. Mike |

It was originally designed to mix drinks (not music), and was popular enough that, for a few years, blenders were generically called "waring blenders". Were the Pennsylvanians _really_ that great a big band? The Fred Waring singers were good. Fred Waring sponsored Robert Shaw (of the Robert Shaw Chorale and Atlanta Symphony Orchestra) early in his career to gain the benefit of his choral techniques. Shaw is in the handful of top choral innovators of all time and Waring's voices showed the improvements before Shaw's own groups became famous. |
