Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Noooo... get the Fader cleaner and then the lube or grease to make it 
smooth after the cleaning as they are when they first come out of the 
factory. If you use DeoxIt on the faders it will likely just *short* 
them out, because it is designed to be brushed on to things like noisy 
audio cable connectors for better conductivity!
  But, call Caig and get their expert advice/recommendation for your 
particular scenerio... I'm just pointing a direction. :)
