Hmm...life preserver under the seat? C'mon. How many people really take a dump on the plane? Goodbye, toilet paper! Co-pilot? You only need one pilot, really. Extra fuel? Gone.
I didn't have any desire to read it at the time but now ...

Quote from: jimilee on March 01, 2024, 10:29:24 PMThe pots that actually sound good in wahs are basically irreplaceable, so anything that will extend their life is much needed. I've gone through 5 different pots of all types in my wah, and none have ever sounded as good as the one I recently fixed with this stuff. I'm guessing that a well-oiled wah pot will outlast any of the so called "boutique" expensive pots out there that are supposed to last, but always end up getting scratchy just as fast as the cheap ones.
Does t cost that much to just replace them, but I get it...
Quote from: Bret608 on February 29, 2024, 01:26:15 PMI happened to take the whole pot apart for the one I resurrected, but I'm willing to bet that just adding the fader lube to the carbon track on most pots would fix any scratchiness, without having to douse it in cleaner. It still requires taking the back off though, otherwise you can't be precise with the application of the oil to the track. I'm guessing this stuff isn't designed to get all over the place. I think it does have some conductivity to it.
...without taking the whole pot apart.
Quote from: jessenator on February 29, 2024, 02:24:45 AMYep. Same thing I used to do too, because we were all doing it wrong. Pots don't get scratchy from dust or dirt, it's from FRICTION. Ever run an engine out of oil? It fails. Pots need lube. Any moving part that contacts another surface needs lubricant of some type, or bad things happen. Electronics cleaner actually makes it worse.
I must've been doing it wrong. I usually take CRC plastic-safe contact cleaner...
