Can switch cleaner damage pots?
I just picked up a used guitar amplifier. One of the pots was a little bit
noisy, so I opened it up and sprayed all of the pots with DeoxIt D5 contact cleaner. When I tried out the amp afterwards, all of the pots were quite noisy. Much worse than before I cleaned them. What happened? Did I damage the pots by "cleaning" them with the wrong cleaner? (The label says it's for use on pots, but it really emphasized its ability to remove oxidation from switches.) What's the preferred cleaner/lubricant for potentiometers? |
