We used to use carbon tetracloride. It was GREAT for cleaning switches and also potentiometers. It was quite inert so it didn't destroy the wafers, or the resistance element of the pots. It evaporated VERY fast and was non-conductive. I had a bottle for years which I used until it finally ran out.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
