Silicone spray on a HAS potentiometer?

Post by shmupsrocks »

Anybody tried silicone spray to loosen up the potentiometer on a HAS supergun?

I'll try to drip some Deoxit in there:

It won't make much of a difference. Pots are usually somewhat stiff for dialing in precise values.

Sure but lubricant must help, right?

It's mostly for corroded pots, but yes, it won't hurt and it will help a bit. Just don't expect a rollerblade.

Deoxit is good stuff and I use it on jamma fingers to make the harness slide on easier.
