Agreed Exray! And never forget that WD-40 works better than deoxit for loosening up rusted control shafts on all old electronics!!, and seems the carbon traces inside jumps back to life also! If any old potentiometers can be saved, WD-40 can do it!! I keep a small can of deoxit on my bench just to be cool when the younger generation visits my shop, but I always use WD-40 instead loosening up and re-lubing old controls! Why?... it just works better!! That old WW2 tube tech taught me that also!! The Deoxit is a waste of unnecessary money, but it looks nice in the Can on my workbench to the youngsters!! I now invest in "Blue Shower" Electronics Cleaner when I can afford it, to clean out old dirty tuning condensers that my compressed air misses. A much "better" investment indeed! WD-40 ROCKS!! Use it and never look back my friend!! Icon_thumbup
