OT: cleaning pots on my vintage audio amp

I've got an old McIntosh MA-5100 working as my phono preamp until I hack
something better, the volume pots always gummed up in my ancient and dusty
house, a can of compressed air usually does the trick for a month or so. For
a more permanent solution, try capping the pots with cut, black plastic film
cannisters. Works wonders for me.
