Thanks for your good suggestions. In my experience, DeoxIT products are very good. If I wind up using a commercial cleaner, I can' t think of a better place to start.

I will use an analog ohmmeter as you suggest, and look for a keeper on the shaft.

I like your idea of drilling out the old pot shaft to take the shaft of a new replacement. However, it may be a bit beyond my metal working skills!

Thanks,
