Thought I'd report back on my experience with the Caig F5 Faderlube 
product: my test case was a Yeasu FRG-7700 receiver with almost unusably 
noisy potentiometers. It had been my Dad's and those pots were in awful 
shape.

I followed the directions, flooded the pots with the stuff, cycled them 
a few times, did it again, and then tried it. The results were perfect: 
the controls are now electrically clean. No noise and they operate 
smoothly. As far as I'm concrened the stuff works as advertised!
