Anyone know of a good potentiometer cleaner?
Getting really tired of taking the potentiometer out to clean and get rid of
the noise in the volume control. Cleaning lasts for about a month and then noise returns. Any ideas on how to stop the volume from getting noisy? Dielectric grease maybe? (fwiw, control is no longer made to fit (stacked-case design) so that's not an option) Mack |

If changing is not an option then try checking the slider pressure on the track (if accessible) as it may be too weak. Mike |

If changing is not an option then try checking the slider pressure on the
track (if accessible) as it may be too weak. I would try the Caig products first. Bending stuff could have a permanent negative effect. When I was working in the broadcasting and electronics mfg industries, we used the Caig products a lot. They're definitely worthwhile, and beats the heck out of those Freon-based and/or silicon-oil-based products. Caig has a whole line of cleaners, lubricants, de-oxidizers, etc., and they really do work (and have a lasting effect). And no, I don't work for Caig. :-) |
