[AMRadio] Best product for noisy potentiometers?

[W5AMI]

Hey Jay!

Good to see you on here for once in a blue moon.  I know you have been on
the list for a while, but don't see you post a lot.

Do you know if there is anyone in Arkansas that sells Deoxit anymore?
Especially some place near Conway.  I want the brush on stuff.  Anyway, I
can order it, but just curious...

So good to see everyone helping each other on here.  Kim, I'm sure you can
bank on the ideas of most everyone on this list.  This is one the _best_
reflectors for ham radio, however I might be a little biased...
