Q: (19951)
I have read the posts concerning the cleaning of noisy/intermittent potentiometers on newer and antique equipment. I think there is some lubrication if using 100% D5? If a smoother, more tactile feel is desired than achieved after using 5% or 100% D5, what do you recommend using as a lubricant? It would be difficult to use your fader lube into a pot without disassembly.

Hi
I have pretty much exclusively used DeoxIT D5 on pots and anything I want to improve the conductivity of.
Should I be using Fader spray on the rotary pots instead?
I did read where someone claimed that DeoxIT leaves a film which attracts dust etc. is this correct?
Thanks for your assistance.

I am trying to figure out which product, if any, will be best to lubricate some old P&G faders (motorized). I would rather not have to take the console out of service to remove the faders if possible. Thanks for your time.
Thank you,
Scott

I am contacting you to ask for some assistance regarding the DeoxIT® D5 and DeoxIT® F5 products you sell.
In short, I am a musician in need of repairing my Fender Stratocaster guitar. The volume knob on my guitar is very crackly when being turned so I took it to the repair shop and they used Servisol. I thought they had repaired it but unfortunately the problem returned very quickly and the volume knob now also feels a bit stiff compared to how it used to feel.
I want to give repairing it a shot myself and I continually read your products are the best for this job. Evidently the pot needs both cleaning and lubricating and both of the above products do this. However, I am unsure of which of the two above products I should use for this job.
With regards to cleaning and lubricating the volume knob on my guitar, should I be using the DeoxIT® D5 spray or the DeoxIT® F5 spray?
Thank you,
Sunny

I’m in France and my job is repairing audio products. I use DeoxIT F5 to clean potentiometers and DeoxIT D5 for switches and encoders – GREAT products. Please can you tell me what products (grease) can I use after cleaning potentiometers and encoders. I have DeoxIT FaderGrease DFG-213, can I use it in potentiometers carbon and plastic (after cleaning with F5) and in rotary encoders (after cleaning with D5).
It is better D5 or F5 to clean rotary encoders ?
Thanks,
Franc

I’d like to make plugging and unplugging a lot easier.
Which DeoxIT product is safe for this voltage and current?
Would the DeoxIT Fader make more sense since it’s got a higher about of lubricant?
Does DeoxIT add resistance?
Do I need to worry about arcing and flammability of the solution?
Thank you,
Gerald

I’m very nervous to use any chemical product on an ‘antique’ 1970’s era Moog synthesizer. However, the keyboard contacts as well as the ‘variable resistor’ knob pots all require cleaning – some feel sluggish to turn and have audible scratchiness when turned. Of all your products what would be the best and safest product to use – I’d prefer to keep the application of the chemical very ‘defined’ and avoid overspray.
Thank you,
Bill

I’m trying to understand your product part numbers. How do I know the product is 5% or 100%. And how much cleaning does each product do?

Hello CAIG,
I’ve used both the D5S-6 and D5S-6-LMH products and both work well. What is the difference and when would I use each?
Thanks,

Hi CAIG,
I purchased a case of D5 a year or so ago. I just started to use one of the last cans and the sprayer is starting to drip. It doesn’t spray like the other ones.
Please advise?
Regards,
Don
