[sdiy] Caig DeoxIT

[Tom Bugs]

Yes, Isop-alcohol has always been my choice before.
One thing I was wondering though (and hence my interest in the 
Faderlube) was whether any cleaning with alcohol or other substance 
would remove the lubricant that you tend to find in pots (certainly the 
alphas I've used a lot)
Cheers, Tom
