Best Potentiometer Cleaner

I posted this on the original forum 20+ years ago.

This Nu-trol Control cleaner has lube oil in it so that the pots have a super long life with no reoccurrence of the "dry scratchie pot" syndrome. I use a piece of surgical/medical tubing to slip over the pot shaft snugly and then spray a shot of this into the tube. With a little wiggling, the cleaner travels down the shaft and onto the wiper/track assembly inside. And, yes, it's pricey but it's the best I've found (just like the Parker Flys). Amazingly, it's for sale on Amazon (click the link at the bottom of the link page).

Thanks for the endorsement, @Soloaxer. I hope I can remember to give this a try the next time I need to replace my can of DeoxIT.

Glad I could show you this little gem.
