All the "tuner cleaner" sprays I have tried leave a film that indeed
collects dust and dirt and makes the component fail again a few weeks
later.  Recently I got (from a friend) a can of flourocarbon-based
residue-free stuff.  It really does the job on noisy potentiometers,
and does *not* seem to leave a residue (though the can clearly states
that it **will** mess up the ozone layer!  Really!).  One might try
using some of this stuff on a critical application like a disk drive
lead screw.  Note - I have *not* as yet tried it in this application!
Send me mail if you want me to lookup the brand name of the stuff.
