DeOxit will clean the pot but not lube it.  After the DeOxit dries,
shoot it with CaiLube which will provide lubrication of the carbon
tracks and thus reduce future wear.  CaiLube can be used alone but it
doesn't contain as much de-oxidizing agent as DeOxit.  I find the
two-step approach works best.

Another grease you might consider is silver bearing conductive grease
(made by CircuitWorks).  This is most handy for capacitors where
excellent electrical contact through the bearings is required.  I find
it especially useful for variable caps in transmitters and tuners
where the circulating currents can get quite high.  It is rather
expensive but a little goes a long way.

[Drakelist] 10-Meters OPEN

2008-08-05 Thread EP Swynar
Good Day All,

Scanning around the HF spectrum between 27- & 29-MHz to-day AND yesterday 
revealed that the CB'ers are booming in, AND the beacons are alive & well above 
28.2-MHz...

The skip is short --- NJ, NC, that sorta thing...but there IS life in the 
band...! And it's been that way for at least 2 days in a row now.

Have you tried GoJo WHITE Hand Cleaner?   It may just have a coating of
nicotine on it.  If not, it won't hurt anything to try it.
