Brass Pot Cleaner Caps - Set of 3 US and Metric for cleaning guitar and amp controls

Brass Pot Cleaning Caps
This set of pot cleaning caps includes US 3/8", metric 8mm and metric 7mm caps.   If you just need one kind or the other, message me through Reverb.

They are made from brass. Brass is soft and won't chew up the pot threads if you crossthread the cap.  They're not as strong as aluminum or stainless steel. 

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).

NOTE - The adapters only fit the small red straws. Caig has a newer yellow "Perfect Straw" that does not fit into these adapters.

Here's the process:

• 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

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.
