Believe it or not, plain rubbing alcohol and a lot of time will un-freeze the shaft from the bushing when even WD-40 won't do the trick.  Thanks to tube hi-fi legend Earl Yarrow for this tip.

Quoting Steve Mulder <[email protected]>:

I'm looking for suggestions on how to deal with a frozen potentiometer. It's on the back of the vertical gain switch on an Eico 435 scope. I tried contact cleaner and a bit of torque, but it won't budge. What else could I try?
