Static in the balance knob, what can I do?


I just bought a beautiful old Tandberg receiver on eBay for a great price. Like a lot of older Hi-Fi equipment this needs a little TLC. I was wondering how to clean the static from the pods? The balance knob needs some attention. I thought of buying a can of compressed air but wouldn't know how to apply it. Any input would be very helpful.

Actually WD-40 isn't crap, it's wonderful stuff when used for it's purpose. It's great for winterizing in-board boat motors.

The Radioshack contact cleaner is just as cheap as WD-40 and works well. Craig Deoxit works better in my experience. Completely eliminated static from all of the pots on my Fisher X-202 with one application.
