[sdiy] Cleaning scratchy pots

[Antti Pitkämäki]

Hi,

I'm about to clean a scratchy volume pot of my Korg Polysix. I was thinking of dismantling the pot and using isoprophyl alcohol to clean the wiper contacts. However, am I also supposed to add some very small amount of lubricant (such as PRF Kontakt 7-78) to the contacts after cleaning or would it be better to leave it dry?

Also, in general do new factory fresh pots have lubricant on the contacts or are they dry?

I'm asking these questions because no amount of googling seems to give a definite answer, but if there is an answer somewhere, it's in this group 🙂

Thanks in advance,
Antti
