minus-squarebeastlykingslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前Hmmm that sounds like it might have been deoxit. It’s worth trying again, but it can only do so much, eventually the resistive track just wears away. If you need to solder in replacements, I wrote up a short starter suggestion comment elsewhere in this thread.
