[TenTec] Paragon Problem gets very odd

Cool.   That's the ticket.  (Although I don't recall them costing
over $20 !)   I will Google around and see what comes up not that you 
confirm their usefulness.

Regarding exercising pots...  I learned long ago from my collection of 
old AM radios, that I can usually avoid spraying loads of contact 
cleaner in the controls if I just exercise them all the way up-and-down 
several times, and then I don't get that awful "scrauntch" sound when I 
turn them on.  You know the sound.  So I just rotate the posts several 
times through their entire course before I plug them in, and that 
usually cures it.  Only occasionally do I need to use any contact 
spritz, which I prefer not to use if possible.   No reason other than 
the KISS method.

Thanks for the uptake on burnishing tools.
