Electronic control cleaner

[walterbeers]

I've had pretty good results with "Electronic Contact Cleaner" made by CRC. It's in a red and white can and I've found it at auto parts stores like O'Reilly auto parts, Advance Auto Parts, etc, Also hardware stores like Westlake, and even found some at Walmart in the automotive section. It's just a contact cleaner though and doesn't have a lubrication base used for tuners. I miss Tun O wash, and tuner cleaner made by GC. I'm going to see if Harbor Fright has the control cleaner as it is a lot cheaper, especially since there is a Harbor Freight about 6 blocks from my house.

Dont forget WD40.
Even cleans a UHF tuner without pulling the ground forks.
Loosens ceased pots especially Pannys & Quasars.
Only a few drops in a tuner, and NEVER use on an old RCA tuner.
Also keep away from dial cords, clutches etc.

I do not like WD-40 one bit, as it isn't a proper lubricant. It dries up and ends up going gummy and I've even had it get to the point of freezing bearings (oh the irony). Lanox is my preference for light-duty lubrication, with sump oil in an oiling can for anything heavy duty.
