before i sold my old gemini ps626i i noticed the x-fader was getting really crackly and leaking badly, i cleaned the x-fader out using a small paintbrush, a credit card, household polish spray like mr sheen or something and a tissue.

first i took the x-fader out (not touching the wiring of course) so i could get inside it better with the brush, then i sprayed a little bit of polish onto the table and dabbed the paintbrush in it, then wiping it off with my fingers so its just kinda damp.. i then brushed the inside of the x-fader to get some of the dust and shit out... after that i took a credit card and a tissue, i wrapped the tissue around the credit card and sprayed it with polish. using this i went inside the x-fader and thourougly cleaned it. the amount of dust and dirt i picked up was amazing...

when i put it all back together it was good as new.

Nice, I gotta try that soon, this cracking is getting bad, in addition to the leaking.

took my mixer into work today as the faders were starting to get a bit crackly, i was expecting an 'It's fucked you need a new mixer' from our sound engineer, but he said to spray some contact cleaner/lubricator in the groove of the faders, and hey presto, they work fine now.

what exactly is contact cleaner and lubriator ?
