[AMRadio] Best product for noisy potentiometers / How to salvage the contents of inoperative aerosol spray can?

[Mike Sawyer]

Do not forget Kroil for those well rusted nuts. It is often referred to as 
'weasel piss' because it works its way into tight places. I also call it 
'millwright's aftershave' due to its unique smell.

I have used PB Blaster with pretty good luck.  Also, I think it's spirit of
wintergreen that works well for frozen parts and smells good.  A good
friend told me about that...

I have seen the liquid WD-40 before too.  I'm sure you can get it online.
I prefer to spray some in a little cap or something and brush it on.  I
just applied some the other day to the band switch on an old Philco
entertainment rx I'm working on for a friend, and the switch is no longer
having intermittent connections.  So far, so good.  Have not tried it on a
pot yet.
