Spraying contact cleaner around the spindle won't work on any
pot. Very little cleaner will actually get inside to where it's
needed. With most pots, squirting contact cleaner in through the
hole where the terminals are will be much more effective, although
not all pots have an opening there. The reverb pot on the A-100 is
a 100 ohm wire wound type, I think a 5 watt rating, the service
manual I have doesn't specify the power rating. It won't needto be
a very high power rating anyway.

Hi Chris, Steve here again.? I was searching for a solution to the
touchy pot problem Stephane had, which I have as well, on the
reverb of my A100.? You suggested spraying the pot with contact
cleaner but it appears to be a sealed pot. I tried aiming a bunch
at the knob and working it, repeatedly, hoping some would seep
down the stem but apparently none or not enough made it inside.
The pot acts like an 'on/off' switch vs a volume control and still
makes a noise if tapped.? I am now searching around for a
replacement part which I am also striking out on.?
This is the last known issue with this organ vs original
performance. Maybe someday I get it fused and/or grounded. Thanks
again for any help.
