Pot Cleaning Cap
-
Description
The easiest way to clean noisy control pots, without extracting them from a guitar, amp, or stomp-box! Works for rotary switches and Gibson Varitone switches, too. The cap directs your cleaner right where it’s needed, inside the pot housing on the contacts around the shaft. Simply remove the control knob, and screw the Pot Cleaning Cap on the shaft. Note: Provided is a black rubber O-ring, with the option to use between the cap and nut when there is ample space. An access hole guides your spray cleaner extension tube directly to the pot shaft. The cleaner flows down the shaft to where it’s needed on the contacts inside the pot. A hole in the top of the cap lets you turn a split pot shaft with a screwdriver for thorough coverage.
Works with 3/8 x 32-thread, made in USA potentiometers: CTS, Allen-Bradley, Bourns, CentraLab, Clarostat, and others. It’s not compatible with imported or metric-thread control pots (like Alpha). Pot Cleaning Cap is made from precision machined stainless steel.
TIP: Aerosol contact cleaners can spray cold, and can potentially crack a guitar’s finish. Always protect the finish with a cloth when cleaning pots and switches.
