Static in the balance knob, what can I do?

Hi If you want to go cheap on this, I used WD-40 at the advice of a Tech who knows how cheap I can be. Get inside and spray the inside part of the knobs. Let it sit for about 24 hours, and then turn the knobs back and forth a few times. It worked great on my Optonica integrated and Luxman receiver. I've had no adverse effects from this method. That I can tell anyways. Good Luck Dan

I concur on not using WD-40. Not only will it do the job but it will attract dust,dirt and anything else airborne. A friend of mine who repairs screen doors and sliding glass windows made a living and put two kids thru college with people spraying the rollers of screen doors and sliding glass windows with WD-40. It is crap. Use an electronic contact cleaner like the ones mentioned above.

Actually WD-40 isn't crap, it's wonderful stuff when used for it's purpose. It's great for winterizing in-board boat motors.

The Radioshack contact cleaner is just as cheap as WD-40 and works well. Craig Deoxit works better in my experience. Completely eliminated static from all of the pots on my Fisher X-202 with one application.

oops oh well someone asked. Dan
