Hi All
A while back I asked about potentiometer cleaner, deoxit was recommended. I see they have have a number of series for cleaners and lubricates.
Which series would I want for scratchy potentiometers and switch contacts? ie. D G F or X series?
Tnx, KB7ADL

Vince,
From my pro-audio service hat, the D series is good for cleaning contacts.
The G series is the most general purpose though not as good at cleaning.
F series is for carbon / conductive plastic and specifically for pots. I've used teeny bits of the G stuff for pots. Watch to not solvent off the tracks in that case! Guess how I know...
Clean the grit, then a little G series on the contact surface. Pots need more care, I usually disassemble them to physically clean the oily dust.
