OT: cleaning pots on my vintage audio amp

IMHO, there is no substitute for simply disassembling
a pot, cleaning it, and then reforming (the "nice"
term for bending) the pot wiper to restore its spring.
Most of the time inexpensive pots were put together
with just bent tabs. I've brought 99% of bad pots on
audio stuff and music synthesizers back to 100% useful
life doing this. Laborious, but good if you can't
easily replace 'em.
