My head is itchy:)

[willsellout]

Hey I have a GK 800 RB from about 209 years ago. The head rocks, but when I turn the knobs, I hear scratchy sounds. How do I get rid of those scratchy sounds when I turn the knobs? Is there something I can do or do I have to take it to a tech to have cleaned?

 

Thanks!

try some electical cleaner, spray it into the pots, but only use a bit, then use a good dielectric safe lubricant like WD40 on them... but just a bit, so they turn smooth

I'd be really careful with WD-40, it is not a good conductor of electricity (knew that from experience--also just learned that is same as "dielectric"--new word for the vocabulary--cool!).

 

Heaven help you if you get it on any electrical connections.
