I recently received a 46-200 that is in good working order. It has had the caps replaced, etc...
The volume control has a very light scratchy sound when adjusted. I frequently fix this with my vintage Panasonics with Deoxit. I don't know the makeup of the volume pot in this Philco, and I don't want to damage it with Deoxit. Is it safe to use either Deoxit or WD-40 in the volume control on this radio? If not, is there an alternative? The scratchy sound is quite light, but I will always notice it.
