Another question has come up. The image shows a pot that is used for the focus control. The pot is rated at 4 watts and 1350 ohms and is wire wound. The pot is apparently sealed and I was wondering if there is a way to clean it properly? The back of the pot looks like it is press fit or maybe welded on( hard to tell). I don't want to damage this part by taking it apart improperly. All of the other controls have a place that is open on the body of the pot to spray in deoxit and should not be a problem. Maybe I should leave well enough alone, but since I have the chassis torn down I thought this would be the time for cleaning. On the other side of the pot there is a brass shaft where I could spray a bit of deox but It does not seem like I would do very much good. Any opinions?
