What common substance would be acceptable as a lubricant for
consumer grade volume control pots? It's no good recommending a
branded product to me as I live in a place where such products
are unlikely to be available. Thanks.

Radio Shack sells a small white spray can with cleaner and lubricant. I've
had good luck with it.

** Pots do not need lubricating.

How about you post a question properly for once ?

What is the actual problem with the pots ??

This is not about a problem with a particular pot. Many
inexpensive carbon pots develop intermittent contacts and
scratchy sounds in audio. This happens both with pots fitted in a
product by a manufacturer and with pots bought from a shop. Some
become defective within a couple of months of regular use,
especially in a dusty environment and/or if they have dc current
passing through them. Replacing them with better quality pots is
not always an option. Flushing with a solvent usually makes them
OK again for a while, but this also takes out the lubricant and
makes the track wear out more quickly.
