Anyway, I have a few volume controls which need to be cleaned, is there
anything over-the-counter which would do the job?


Since my first electronics job in 1967, I've used all manner of stuff to
clean pots, switches, tuners, etc. Tuner cleaners work, but frequently
a dirty pot has to be recleaned every week or so for a while. The best
stuff I've ever used is DeOxit D5 spray; always works, seldom needs
to be reapplied.

Since the EPA took trichloroethane out of tuner cleaners, none of them
seem to work worth a damn.
