What about ipa to clean, followed by a little mineral oil down the pot/
switch stem to work as a contact lubricant? Or is that asking for
trouble, too?
Don't know what it is these days but RS switchcleaner used to be carbon tet
with a bit of oil added and worked on most things, provided they weren't too
bad. Electrolube was better and worked on virtually everything!
However, it is surprising just how good a job oil on its own can do. I don't
know what they put in 3-in-1 but it is surprisingly effective.
