While true, the nature of the material is such that it is very hard not to use too much. After which, it is impervious to most of the solvents already discussed here. After which it is hard to deliver exactly where it may be needed. However, if all of the above problems are solved, it is stable, non-volatile, does not harden over time, oxidizes extremely slowly (years) and so forth. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

I don't know if it's still around, but in the old days we used to be able to buy a silicone solution to refill the eject pistons in cassette players. You can also use Vaseline. To do so though means taking the control out, taking it apart, and lightly covering all moving surfaces. Back in the late 70s, I was working on a Sony Trinitron that had no color - zip. I got out the old Sams and traced the lost chroma to the color control. It was arranged like a volume control. No matter how the control was manipulated, there was no sign of color. Throwing a jumper across it restored the chroma. For Shits & Giggles, I flushed the control with Tun'O Lube (a clear, oiless cleaner for degreasing tuners without pissing off the neutralizing trim in RCA mechanical tuners). To my surprise, the color popped back and adjusted normally throughout the range. The only problem was that I had washed out the spooze that Sony filled their controls with to make them feel like they were of high quality and had a heft and weight to them. The customer returned the TV a couple of days later because he didn't like how the control had craploads of endplay and almost no drag as it was rotated. We ordered a new control from Sony to make the guy happy. |

When a batch of components arrived from the supplier I had the job of testing potentiometers. It took hours to get through a pack of 100. The track lubricant used by the manufacturer was a dense fat. I've no idea what it was called but it looked like a dense petroleum jelly. Any attempt to clean the track ruined the lubrication. The test was just to make sure the wiper moved smoothly before assembly continued. A component replacement cost time and time cost money! Steve -- http://www.npsnn.com |

I don't care. Washing too often leaches the skin of natural oils and protective fauna. A occasional cat-lick at the sink keeps one clean & healthy. Don't believe everything advertisers tell you. |
