Speaking of cleaning and lubricating,  I was in a electronics store
and saw that they had some highly conductive lubricating grease
for sale.  Initially I thought this would be a very bad thing, but
I can't articulate why.  Anyone ever use something like this?

re: taking apart sliders & pots -

I'm currently restoring 2 PolyMoogs (one to keep, one for eBay) and they
suffer the same fate as the MG-1 -- the felt behind the front panel that
was supposed to protect them from dust disintegrates and turns into tar
over the years.  All the sliders have black goo around and inside them.
I could just spray some cleaner in there, wiggle them around and it
would probably work for a while.  However, the problem is still in there.

Yes, it's taking a heckuva long time (mainly because I have other things
to do), but the results should be worth it.
