It does seem to help a bit to move the knob left and right rapidly. And, at times, the noise seems to almost disappear when the unit has been running for awhile.

I'll keep y'all posted.
Well, what can I say? I've restored many, many components from owners who smoked. The insides have a layer of "tar" or whatever which is very difficult to remove. Xylene solvent is about the only thing which cuts through some of it.

I hate to see what it's doing to the insides of your lungs..... frown
