Self-servicing a TTM 57SL with DeoxIt - Advice Needed.

Hi all,

I've been going through thread of the best switch cleaner & lubricant to use on a TTM 57SL and have found different opinions.

I've read the DeoxIt F5 is the best to go for by a member of Rane. But then also read long threads of people using DeoxIt D5 on the B1 to B6 button thread. To furthur confusion, the manual suggests DeoxIt F100 for the crossfader.

These are quite pricy so make sure I want to make sure I get the right one. The initial goal is to service the B1 to B6 buttons, but I guess servicing the fader and rest of the unit would be good too.

Thanks in advance,
Ced

Thats exactly what I'm using at the moment. But using it quite lightly, perhaps I need to apply more?

Was under the impression the DeoxIt was a better product, so thought about using that instead.

We recommend F5 for the buttons and knobs and F100L-25C for the faders.

Thanks Zach! Thats good to know.

I know it varies with use, but on average how often do you suggest applying the DeoxIt?

DeoxIt is a much better product,but for me maplins is 10 minutes from my house and i always forget to order some DeoxIt.

Yes.. the F5 solution can be used on any electrical contacts/pots/faders.
There shouldn't be any need to take the top panel off. Just spray it in the open spaces available.
