Re: Absurdly simple way to get contact cleaner into some Tek pots


 

Hi,

You could search for "pot cleaning cap".
They are commonly used for cleaning pots on guitars.
There are variations on eBay.
I have even seen people use threaded rod unions for the same thing.

Does anyone remember the day of TV repair (when TVs could be repaired)
where General Cement (GC) I believe had a neat tool for cleaning &
lubing pots from the front panel. It was sort of a hypodermic syringe
on steroids in the form of a body containing a plunger with the end
being a threaded tube that matched the threads on the panel pots. One
simply put cleaner in the syringe, removed the knob from the pot shaft,
threaded the syringe on the pot bushing and pushed the plunger. The
cleaner/lubricant would flow in through the interface between the pot
shaft and the bushing into the innards of the pot.

A neat idea but a little messy since you were pushing a bunch of liquid
into the pot but it was very effective and quick.
