[QUOTE="richg99, post: 183242, member: 4376"] All good advice above. One more thing to do is to rotate the speed control, back and forth ....through all of its settings..... a number of times. That action can clean slightly corroded connections. Hate to say where I learned this...since many of you don't even remember some of this stuff...ha ha ...... Way back when RADIOS ( and original B&W TV's) had knobs...the knob was connected to a potentiometer (round resistor type device). It worked by a metal slider bearing onto a wire or carbon connector. Twisting the radio knobs back and forth rapidly cleaned many a connector and saved the units. Yea...a lot of them had vacuum tubes, too. Ha! Rich [/QUOTE]
