Contact Cleaner...
Hello all,
I am wondering which type/brand of contact cleaner would you recommend for either switches or pots ? Several of my radios are in need of this sevicing and since it's been a long time since I've bought any (years) perhaps there's some great New cleaner out there that I need to know about. Thanks to all who reply. H Retired Teacher, Terrible Mechanic, Worse Plumber! LPFM Page: http://home.att.net/~optcamel/fmradio.htm |

Just go to Radio Shack, and get a can of Color TV Tuner Cleaner. It's a contact cleaning spray with a lubricant built in. Makes scratchy pots feel and work like new. Use the little red tube, put a shot in the hole in the back of the pot. -- Allen McBroom www.NPSTKD.com Remove WOOF when replying by email |

Cleaned a tuner on an old radio I was about to throw out because the volume control wouldn't work. One shot and Voila....works perfect. elfa -- Allen McBroom www.NPSTKD.com Remove WOOF when replying by email |

That may depend, If the user has warn the carbon that may make things worse (when it drys up) I have this trick with badly warn pots for Guitars, old amps that must be kept original, I also used it very successfully as the only save for vintage audio mixers. Carefully open the back of the control (if needed) Clean and shift the wipers on to the unworn part of the carbon track with a dental pick After this lube it with 50-50 mix of PTFE (automotive tuf-oil) and Cramalon D-5. What ever you do ! Do not wash all the grease out of the control and end up with a loose, scratchy feeling control Unfortunately the above will not work on pots with hard fixed carbon wipers brushes like Ohmites -Joe "elfa" wrote in message ...
