Just bought a Zenith Walton.
#6

Bill Turner sells a gizmo to get lube/cleaner into sealed pots:

Quote:CONTACT CLEANER ADAPTER - This is a custom-made device that can be screwed onto the front bushing of a sealed pot to inject contact cleaner - $8.00

Here's the only problem; Bill has no e-mail so you have to either call him or just trust him and send a check, cash, or money order. A friend runs his webpage for him. It is a pretty simple but neat gadget to force cleaner/lube into a sealed pot. I had an old electronics instructor who called it a "ga-zin-ta" but I could never find one until I ordered one from Bill.

Nice radio, is that a 7-S-232? I have one I've had for ages that I've never finished, it just lacks a couple more coats of lacquer. I have a 9 tube chassis I was going to put in it but I've changed my mind and decided to keep it original. I have 9 and 12 tube '38 consoles if I want to play with the motor drive (which I do like to do Icon_wink )

If your tuning is sloppy because of a loose belt I recommend you buy replacements from Adams:
