Hi Michael, how are you doing?
When I see any equipment with a lot of Deoxit, it usually means that there is something wrong with the unit. Whomever "fixed" the unit doesn't have a clue what the problem is. And sprays a ton of cleaner onto the problem & prays to the Great Contact Cleaner God for a miracle fix.
The "fix" rarely happens. One spray of Deoxit or one gallon.
Good luck with that!

I echo FL's findings.
Is replacement of the saturated Vpots an option?
It's like taking 6 aspirin instead of 2 because it should work 3 times better, and 3 times faster.
You can see the wipers, but can't get to them, because a board sits above the control. In the cleaning attempt they may have move the wipers, who knows. At some point I will remove the board and see what I can do. It certainly didn't occur to them that the play in the shaft was a major cause of the problems. It was very amateurish work for certain.
the pots bad!
