Lubricating stick pivots

[Stew]

Hi all. Can anyone suggest a good lubricant for tx stick pivot points?

Hi Stew, the pivots are rarely the cause of stiff sticks (ooh-er missus)
Its usually friction between the track and wiper caused by oxidisation etc
If you can get to it, a squirt of Electrolube Contact Cleaner onto the track will make a world of difference. Some pots have a slot opening just above the contacts, some have a detent notch cut into the body where you can get some in. If not its a dismantly job

Whatever you do, never ever use a silicone-based lubricant anywhere near electronics.

Cheers
Phil

Hi Phil. Cheers, I've got a can of that, I'll give it a go. Nice one.

Worked beautifully Phil. Both sticks now free and spring back to centre very nicely indeed.

Gracias!
