Excellent work, I have rebuilt numerous pots that had gunk in them, as well as replacing bad power switches on these Fishers. Not sure about all the noise regarding the solder blobs, they are easily removed with a desoldering iron, followed with a little solder wick, if needed. They just pop right off and after the rebuild, which includes cleaning each track with IPA and then treating each track with deoxit on a qtip so as not to get that damn crap all over everything, and then I use a wipe of silicon grease to give the pots a nice smooth action, I use deoxit fader grease but they are all pretty much the same, this is used in Tek pots, and it don't get better than that! I also resolder the switch cover back on, that's called "doing it right". And glad to see that the indiscriminate use of deoxit is being called out, that shit can cause as many problems as it fixes, proper use is required not to screw things up with that evil stuff. Regards the reluctance to buy rebuilt or new pots at $60, if your time has no value, then do this procedure a couple of times and perhaps you will rethink your position, time consuming yes, but I do get paid to do this, although not enough...
