Hello,

new to the forum and just getting back into the wonders of vintage gear.. I picked up a nice condition pioneer sx-980 a week or so ago, sounds great on my sansui sp-3500's..... there is a bit of fuzz and static noise when adjusting the volume and tone controls. From my readings here cleaning the controls seem's to be the wonder fix, any tips on how to clean a sx-980, I got the face plate and bottom off, do I need to remove the whole tuner assembly to get to the back of the switches? also any other members in the fine town of Olympia WA? Thats all for now I'm sure there will be more to come later!!:music:

Hello from Olympia take 2

Hello again,

Another quick question, would crc brand contact cleaner work for cleaning the controls, if not whats the difference between that and deoxit?
 
Welcome to AK! Glad you found us! Regarding control cleaning, there are those on this forum who've used CRC and report good results...but there's a LOT more folks who swear by deoxit. It's kinda the Windex of AudioKarma.
