[Test-Equipment] Brand of switch cleaner?

[james.liles at comcast.net]

Good evening Richard:

I have used Deoxit pot cleaner and fader lube for a number of years and have not had a problem.  Use 5% and 100% on phenolic wafer switches, also never a problem although the 100% provides no lube properties.

These guys know what they are doing, no witchcraft.

Kindest regards Jim K9AXN

    I have used the Deoxit pot cleaner with very good 
success. It leaves a residue of lubricant and does not seem 
to attack the resistance track.  In the past I used regular 
Deoxit D-5 and other cleaners before it with good success 
but have also had the resistance element of a very high 
value pot peel off. That happened only once so I don't think 
it proves much.
