[sdiy] easy pro one cleaning

[Julian]

I did a pro-one a while back with servisol.  I hear deoxit is very good too,
but its expensive here.

The pots (assuming no change between revisions) have a small hole in the
body, near the shaft, which you can spray servisol into.  Its not a sticky
spray, so it wont result in the 'grinding compound' effect, wont damage
pcbs, but might have issues with some plastics.  I sprayed in a good
ammount, in order to properly 'flush' what i was cleaning, watching out
where the run-off ended up.

I used it sucessfully on all the switches of the pro one too, and even on
the j-wire contact wires.

I was very impressed with it (even though ive heard bad things about these
sprays in the past - i think the trick may be to find a solvent only one, so
as not to leave residue)  In this example, it transformed a real flakey,
glitchey pro-one into a perfectly working machine very swiftly.
