[ARC5] Removing set screws

[David Stinson]

Have drilled such small holes in sealed pots and switches to introduce 
De-Ox-It many times, usually with good results.  Some tips:  Stack a 
bunch of "O-rings" on the drill bit until just the tip is exposed- like 
a 16th of an inch or so.  This helps keep the drill bit from slipping 
and going deep inside the pot to do destruction.  Also, drill SLOWLY 
with patience.  This is to minimize the shavings that might end-up in 
the pot.  Once you get your agent inside, clean around the hole and seal 
it with tape to keep dirt out.
