Contact cleaner
Other than Electrolub, which can only be purchased in Australia by the case
as far as I know, what is a reliable potentiometer and contact cleaner/lub and where can I get it? Thanks, -- Dave M. |

Thanks, Hi Dave... If you have Radio Shack stores or an equivalent down under, then look for a spray can of "tuner control cleaner and lubricant" Radio Shack's part number is 64-4315 A heads up though; it's a bit pricey imho. 4.5 ounce can is about 11 canadian dollars. (our dollar is about the same as yours) Ken |

The three major sources of cleaner/lubricant sparay cans in Australia are; Electrolube (OP already knows this) CRC Industries Richard Foot Products from these 3 company's are available from WES Components. I can ony leave it up to the OP to make his own decision as to which product suits his requirements but I have used the RF64 contact cleaner lubricant from Richard Foot without any problems. I always found CRC 2-26 was good. We bought it in 20 litre drums. N |

Unfortunately, the product lines in the Tandy stores are becoming the same as in Dick Smith stores. Whereas once you could buy some of the US Radio Shack stores products in the Tandy stores out here, no longer is it the case. It is therefore not possible to buy the Radio Shack tuner control cleaner and lubricant out here.

Woolworth's still exists in Australia? Here (Canada) it became known as Woolco many years ago, and then about 5 years ago was taken over by the durned WalMart. Sure is getting to be a confusing world for an old guy. I remember when it was the Tandy Leather Company; a mail order house in Chicago. Ken |

I remember when it was the Tandy Leather Company; a mail order house in Chicago. It also exists in New Zealand BUT, it's a totally different company. No connection whatsoever, just the same name. Down there it's really very like Safeway here - runs a lot of big supermarkets all over both countries and is spreading into other areas. N |
