I have never seen any noticeable lingering effects from electronic cleaning
solvents on the resistive elements. Most electronic cleaning
agents evaporate and leave no residue. Even the solvents that leave a
slight oily surface seem to have no effect on the value of the resistor
element.

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.
