I think they also make a product for potentiometers called 'Fader lube' or something similar.

I use the canned stuff on noisy potentiometers where I give them a shot

On any contacts, I have a 2 oz bottle with a needle applicator that puts
exactly what I want where I want it.

Servicing ancient radars and other shipboard gear with relays and many
connectors, that tiny 2 oz bottle has lasted me more than a decade!

Hey Chris,

On my older hollowstate stuff, I usually spray a quantity into a small cup
and then use a q-tip to apply deoxit to areas in a controlled manner.  That
might not make as big a difference on newer equipment, but I was always told
it was a good idea around phenolic tube sockets.

Hi
When the can arrives, I plan to deoxit front panel connections on an
early
K3
which has tinned connectors.
This is to try to fix erratic VFO behaviour while tuning.
Any hints on how to do this effectively? thanks
