Pot Cleaning Cap - Set of 3 sizes for Guitars and Amps
This set of pot cleaning caps includes US 3/8", metric 8mm and metric 7mm caps. If you just need one, single cleaning caps are available in my other listings.
They are available in stainless steel, brass or aluminum.
The 3/8" one is threaded to fit US pots like CTS that have a 3/8" by 32 TPI thread. The nuts on these pots use a 1/2" wrench. The 8mm by 0.75 size fits large (24mm) imported pots and some Bourns pots. 8mm pots use an 11mm wrench. The 7mm fits Alpha and other metric pots that use a 7mm by 0.75 thread. The nuts on this style pot use a 10mm wrench.
The adapters have a small hole for the tube from your favorite pot cleaning product (I like Caig DeoxIT).

Here's the process:
The cleaning solution is directed to the shaft of the pot where it can seep in. You can turn split shaft pots with a screwdriver through the open end to work in the cleaner.
- Pull the knob
- Slip an o-ring on the shaft if there's room
- Thread on the cleaning cap
- Put the product tube in the little hole
- Wrap a rag around the bottom (just in case)
- Cover the open end with your finger
- Spray
