Geez, for that much effort, I think I'd just stop smoking...

Subject: Re: OT: cleaning pots on my vintage audio amp

All my stuff is solid state, no tubes. I
don't have anything that is
truly worth a lot, I don't think. I'd just like to have consistant
sound. Where's Tony, on this?
In England, I expect ;>)
Chad --
I smoke, and although it has never bothered my computers the
smoke bugs the
shit out of my audio gear. Every couple of months I take my main amp and
mixer apart and spray a lot of plain old tuner cleaner into the switches
and pots. Then I pull *all* the plugs and spray tuner cleaner all over
them and into *all* the jacks. Then I wiggle everything around a lot and
the problems go away -- for a couple of months. BTW I probably don't need
to tell you this but make sure the fluid has evaporated before powering
anything up.
