Nice video.


I was wondering about that variac staying hot but then I figured since you posted that video, nothing bad happened Icon_smile

One thing: I am not sure but it seems like the spray said "contact cleaner". If it is, I wouldn't use it on a pot, as at least some are known to etch the resistant off of the omega. Fader lube, like Deoxit F5 is safe and does a good job removing scratchinness from volume controls.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
