[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1040042, member: 369937"] If you can remove it and find a way to soak it with the pot side down (don't get it into the motor) then try and find some of this stuff, it may soak into the pot it's self. [URL='http://www.stewmac.com/Materials_and_Supplies/Cleaners_and_Lubricants/CAIG_DeoxIT_Pot_and_Switch_Cleaner.html']CAIG DeoxIT Pot & Switch Cleaner | stewmac.com[/URL] I've had to do the same for some audio control boards, I used a small drinking glass and filled it to a bit above the top of the pot, then let it soak for a bit, exercising the pot afterwards work wonders, let the stuff dry out a bit before replacing it back in operation.
