This has been a very interesting thread on how to clean potentiometers, but there has been no mention of what happens after you get the cleaner/lubrication into the potentiometer.
Do you leave the liquids in there, and what about the residue that caused your problem to start with?
Thank you for any comments you might have!

I think GC Electronics made them for their contact cleaner. Long cylinder that threaded onto the mounting nut, maybe 5 inches long and necked down to a small diameter that fit the aerosol nozzle of the contact cleaner.
Check electronics magazines of the 1950s.
I see the StewMac cap advertised. Only good for short shaft pots.

I remember seeing in the distant past, a catalog picture of a pot/contact cleaner which threaded onto the pot threaded bushing. I guess you would then put in the cleaner/lube, and push a plunger to force the cleaner into the pot.
