Wooks79 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I've got a sticking foot switch on my strymon timeline and annoyingly it made a total mush of a verse at a gig after I'd made a massive noisy swell and it wouldn't turn off Is it ok to spray on WD40, or is there a chance that could get on the insides and have a negative impact on the internals at all?

Pinball Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Lots of people seen to use WD 40 on electrics and there are three problems with it. 1. if its some thank that heats up you have trouble 2. over time it gets thick and gunky 3. It seems to attract dirt and dust so in the longer term is a bad move Its a short term or emergency solution at best I know this from working on pinballs I would advise trying a foaming electrical cleaner to get it thoroughly clean. If that doesn't work just change the switch Edited January 18, 2014 by Pinball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Proper switch cleaner for the pot. Maybe WD40 for the hinge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
