    Caig Deoxit. At 20-odd quid a tin quite pricey, but I suppose it goes a long way.

    Can't help thinking that would be terribly cheap if it wasn't associated with hifi.

    If it's a sealed pot you can still take the knob off and point the tube attachment at the gap between the pot shaft and the outer ring. But don't use much.
    Thanks, must be an alternative, £25 for a small tin seems like bullshit hifi prices to me.

    deoxit is the berries and a can will likely last a lifetime. its great for cleaning and good for lots of things. it improves the intermittent connections etc. super for removing oxidization too.
    probably the best buy you can make in audio.
    dunno if its what you require tho. probably need to open it up and see if it looks damaged etc. fit another pot and it'll likey be fine for another 10 yrs

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Even though Sugden may have a long waiting list for service and repairs, if you can find the pot is the issue, perhaps they could just send out the part quickly for you to have the work done elsewhere.
