Dave Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Just want to thank everyone who gave me advice regarding cleaning the potentiometers on the old Marshall amp I recently picked up. Once I'd opened up the amp I then sprayed some Servisol into the openings at the rear-side of the pots and twisted the knobs about 50 times each way and then closed her back up and left her to dry for about 48 hours. Almost all the pots were crackly before I tried this, and one gave a lot of resistance, whereas now they all turn smoothly, and only one of the pots still crackles a little (though much less than before). I twisted this one some more and it seems to be improving. I assume I could probably re-clean this one and it would be as silent as all the others. So again I'd just like to thank everyone for their suggestions, as I was clueless before I took this task on, and there's no better feeling than being able to sort out a problem "on your own" for very little monetary outlay. Love this forum, as ever a wealth of useful information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
