I can understand this if your doing it professionally, or if
it's the sort of thing you find you need to quite often - but
are you convinced that the end result is substantially better
than a quick squirt of WD?
As a professional, I don't like things coming back. Period.
As to using WD-40, some time ago, I acquired several 5-tube
table radios at an estate sale. Basically worthless, and with
all the usual age related issues you'd expect. I tried WD-40
on the volume controls. Yes it works (are you paying attention
Phil?)
I just don't feel comfortable using it.
I never had a problem using WD40 on anything, except pots would need more
at some point. Just does not last as a lube.
