Does anyone know if it's a good idea to clean my dirty pot with white spirit
or something similar. I know WD40 destroys it, but I don't know about white
spirit.

Ideally you should use iso-propanol ***. Available from CF as
"IsoClene", for example. Another option is Kontakt60 from Kontakt Chemie
(dunno the active ingredient in that one). Acetone, ether or pure ***
might do the trick as well.
Don't open up the pots... instead "drown" them in the cleaning liquid,
actuate them and "rinse" them.

Buy a spray can of contact cleaner, which is intended for these jobs. Every
electrical or HiFi store sells them.

I wouldn't recommend WD40. Best to get some tuner cleaner from a radio parts
place like Radio Shack (shadio rack? - I used to manage one). Also, you can
use brake cleaner or electrical contact cleaner from an auto parts store,
but make sure they are safe for plastic if you are spaying near any plastic
parts, otherwise you'll melt them.

you could lube the pot, ( they are from the factory ) with DIELECTRIC grease
or...with a small bit of wd-40 which is a corrosive btw!
good luck

WD40 gets them working really nice, but it doesn't last, so this is
somewhat of a regular procedure I have to do. If I want to make them
work perfectly (you need to for GPL :) ), I would say about once a month
or two is what works for me.

With a household name like WD-40?, users know they can trust a brand that
cleans, penetrates, protects, and lubricates just about anything. </quote

You can't have lubricating residues on the resistance track, they reduce
conductivity and attract dust.
