I searched Deja, but I didn't get too enlightened. Are there special cleaning fluids or...? Mine's just noisy around the dead centre on the wheel, and maybe 10-15 deg. off in each direction. What kind of replacement pot would I get if i would replace it? 360deg 100kOhm? Any pointers appreciated. /Magnus GPLRank hcp: +45.91

You can get a special spray at Radio Shack, Contact Cleaner or something to that effect, that works very well for dirty pots. You didn't say what kind of wheel so can't help you with replacement pots Edward "Magnus Svensson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Ok, I'll look around for that. Some sort of non-conductive contact cleaner(?)... >You didn't say what kind of wheel so can't help you with replacement pots Oops, an old Thrustmaster T2. /Magnus GPLRank hcp: +42.28

Thrustmaster will send you a new pot for the wheel, and two new one's for the pedals for $10.00 U.S. http://www.thrustmaster.com/repairs/instructions/nascarpropot.php3 David G Fisher "Magnus Svensson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Sat, 19 Aug 2000 21:46:34 GMT, "E.

Check your manual for a Swedish or European Thrustmaster office. I received replacements for free from the German office. -- l8er ronny Your mouse has moved.
