Ten Tec Fan's: DeoxIT is an excellent product. Unfortunately, is expensive
and can be difficult to locate. I have had good results cleaning electrical
controls, contacts and switches using a new special penetrating catalytic
lubricant sold nationwide at automobile parts stores such as NAPA. The name of
the product is PB BLASTER. It is intended for professional use and an
approximate 15 ounce spray can is only a few dollars. I have tried it on
several volume controls and switches on both hollow and solid state equipment
and it worked great! However, don't breath the vapor and be careful applying
it as it can squirt with a strong force and can flood your work if one is
careless. It will really penetrate rusty bolts and nuts like nothing I have
ever used! It works well on frozen set screws on knobs. Apparently, this
same chemical action works great for removing oxidation on electrical contacts.
