Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello, I'm posting this question on this forum, rather than any of the other synth lists I
subscribe to, simply because it strikes me as the "nicest", most helpful one of the lot.

So apologies if this is of no interest to you, though I think that as we are all gearheads your
answers might be helpful to quite a few people.

I just bought some contact cleaner, in a spray can ("Servisol Super 10 switch-cleaning
lubricant"), because a lot of my gear has got dusty up in the attic, particularly my mixing
desk, one channel of which seems to have stopped working altogether. I'm hoping I can get it
working again by opening it up and giving it a good spray, but I've never used this stuff
before. My question is: is there anything in particular I should look out for, or avoid, when
spraying this stuff? Is it really safe just to blast away and try to clear out any grime and dust?

And, er, to try to make it a bit more on-topic, would the innards (and, er, outards) of the
AN1x benefit from this stuff at all? Or maybe just the connectors at the back, i.e. the
analogue bits?

Can I be trigger-happy with my spray can?

Thanks,
Martin
