Anyway.. you could always tell me how to get at the pots on a Marshall 8080
so I can squirt them with contact cleaner[1]

There is the long and complicated way, or there is the quick way.[1]

The quick way involves removing the tray of gubbins, getting a straw from a
can of WD40 and an old towel.

Bend about 4mm of the end of the straw through 45degrees, turn the tray
upside down and hold it over the towel, you can now drizzle cleaner in to
the pots.

The complicated way involves removing the knobs from the front, unscrewing
the retaining collars, removing the PCB and holding it upside down over a
towel etc.

Feck me... i got one of them in the cupboard! Haven't used it in years
(old 8080 valve state, looks slightly diff to your jpg). Also got the
dirty pot problem too. When i bought it the bloke in the shop said just
pull the knobs off, then spraw the pot cleaner stuff around the metal
knob thing thats left. He did it in the shop in front of me but it made
frig all difference to be honest. Maybe you could try it see how you
get on.

You got a les paul style guitar to plug into it? Sounds lovely with one

Pull off knob [a] (having first set to 1 or 10 so you can line it up
easily afterwards), remove retaining nut, *gently* push pot inwards,
squirt cleaner in, *slowly* turn pot through full range of movement,
repeat once or twice, replace knob.

It's important to do it all carefully lest you bend or damage whatever
else is behind/attached to the pots. That technique is a generic one
for most amps (and guitar pots and pickup switches for that matter) to
avoid having to strip them all the way down.

>[1] ok, ok.. so it says Carb Cleaner on the can but it's the same stuff.

Is it? I always thought carb cleaner was ether with a proprane
propellant (you reading this, Burnt?) and contact cleaner isopropyl
alcohol propelled by nitrogen (or some other inert gas).

Mind you, either will do the job quite nicely (as will good old WD40,
of course, or any light solvent) but contact cleaner would probably be
mildly less explosive should any be left behind and there's any gaps
big enough for a spark to form...

Hmm... they definitely smell different.

I'd be really cautious about letting WD40 near electronic equipment;
particularly any with those variable capacitance things (it's been so
long since I've been involved with components I've forgotten what they
are called). Introducing WD40 into the airgap between the plates
changes the capacitance and makes these trimming devices range move
drastically; potentially detuning any circuits they were meant to tune
(more relevant to RF I guess than amps).

Used to be trichloroethylene 1.1.1 but that was found to be skinrotting

Isn't that more commonly known as Tippex Thinner?

Don't think so. We used Trichloroethylene in the dry cleaners I worked
at for three years, It took over from Perchloroethylene after the latter
was deemed a hazard in the industry. Anyway, the smell is different

I'm sure it _used_ to be Tippex Thinner before they got all namby-pamby
and produced the water soluble stuff.

My organic chemistry books [1] are in the garage at the moment, so can't
check.

I've not bothered to read the site TBH but if it was dry cleaning fluid
dolled up as Tippex thinner, it wouldn't surprise me it worked. That
stuff could melt paint, dried on varnish etc.

Cleaning the "still" out in the morning (the tank at the bottom of the
machine where all the crap was left behind after the cleaning fluid was
distilled back into the main tanks again) was great. You'd open the
hatch (like a submarine hatch) and you could see the vapour pour out and
cover the floor.

No problemo. I was just curious. IIRC, the Tippex thinner had a more
dusty aroma though.

I think Tippex used to use carbon tetrachloride, but hasn't for many a year.

And I think carbon tet was used before that. We'll be back to treading

that's very interesting, actually.

So, I guess that means you only have to tell your insurers about
having a CD10 on your licence?

Though I guess the weighting for CD10+SP50 isn't any different anyway.

I'd already told them about both having three points but their

guessing you also got the yellow slip from the court?

Oi, Jacques!

If you know all about 401s perhaps you can tell us what oil
to use in the spindle and motor bearings.
As Garrard is no more, their special snake-oil is unobtainable.
The general opinion is that light oil is good for the motor
and heavy oil is good for the turntable spindle.

It's important to do it all carefully lest you bend or damage whatever else is behind/attached to the pots. That technique is a generic one for most amps (and guitar pots and pickup switches for that matter) to avoid having to strip them all the way down. >[1] ok, ok.. so it says Carb Cleaner on the can but it's the same stuff.

I'd be really cautious about letting WD40 near electronic equipment; particularly any with those variable capacitance things (it's been so long since I've been involved with components I've forgotten what they are called). Introducing WD40 into the airgap between the plates changes the capacitance and makes these trimming devices range move drastically; potentially detuning any circuits they were meant to tune (more relevant to RF I guess than amps). -- it's better to burn out than fade away

Don't think so. We used Trichloroethylene in the dry cleaners I worked at for three years, It took over from Perchloroethylene after the latter was deemed a hazard in the industry.
