Static in the balance knob, what can I do?


I just bought a beautiful old Tandberg receiver on eBay for a great price. Like a lot of older Hi-Fi equipment this needs a little TLC. I was wondering how to clean the static from the pods? The balance knob needs some attention. I thought of buying a can of compressed air but wouldn't know how to apply it. Any input would be very helpful.

Hi If you want to go cheap on this, I used WD-40 at the advice of a Tech who knows how cheap I can be. Get inside and spray the inside part of the knobs. Let it sit for about 24 hours, and then turn the knobs back and forth a few times. It worked great on my Optonica integrated and Luxman receiver. I've had no adverse effects from this method. That I can tell anyways. Good Luck Dan
