Cool.   That's the ticket.  (Although I don't recall them costing
over $20 !) I will Google around and see what comes up not that you confirm their usefulness.

Regarding exercising pots... I learned long ago from my collection of old AM radios, that I can usually avoid spraying loads of contact cleaner in the controls if I just exercise them all the way up-and-down several times, and then I don't get that awful "scrauntch" sound when I turn them on. You know the sound. So I just rotate the posts several times through their entire course before I plug them in, and that usually cures it. Only occasionally do I need to use any contact spritz, which I prefer not to use if possible. No reason other than the KISS method.

Thanks for the uptake on burnishing tools.

As a broadcast engineer I have to work on a large variety of equipment so I
still carry a burnishing tool in my tool kit.  Cooper tools sells one also.
