I just took the chassis out of my Fender Jazz King amp, like the Steel King only 140 watts.
The controls were a little scratchy so I sprayed them with automotive electronic contact cleaner. It usually works but the controls are still a bit scratchy. Is there another cleaner with a lubricant that would be better?

I like DeoxIT's Fader Lube. Kinder to the carbon inside the pots.

I would use cramolin de-oxit D5 and then follow up with cramolin fader lube, but take off the knob first and spray a bit into/onto the shaft and work the shaft a bit to see if it is smoother in operation. The D5 is the stuff for the cracklies, it cleans the oxidation off the wiper and dust off the trace. I have tried just using the fader lube and it makes things work smoothly but doesn't work as well on the cracklies! The D5 is in a red spray can, the Fader lube is a blue can. You can still get the D5 at Radio Shack last time I checked.

I ordered the Deoxit Fader Lube from Amazon. Also ordered an attachment from Stew-Mac that you put on the top of potentiometers and inject the cleaner down the side of the shaft. That would be cool if it works and you would not have to pull the chassis.

We'll see 👀
