The first time I sat down at it I discovered how off the height and sitting position of my old desk was. The ability to stand and work on stuff sealed the deal for me.

    I prefer standing whenever possible… Matter of fact, I bought a nice La-Z-Boy a couple years ago and hardly ever use it

    The only part you have open access to is the input selector switch at the rear. A light application of gold there should be more than enough. You can also wipe a little gold on the RCA jacks.

    Thanks Jesse. The volume control is a bit staticy at times. If I remove the knob should a drop of deoxit fader cure this?

    Hard to say as I'm not familiar with that particular pot, mine was different. It appears to be completely sealed, but take a look for any holes you can get some fluid into. Otherwise, remove the nut/washer holding the pot in place then apply a few drops at the base of the shaft with the pot facing up. Turn the shaft back and forth to hopefully work the fluid into the pot.

    Edit: I forgot to mention previously when doing the RCA jacks apply a small amount of gold in the hole. A foam tipped applicator works well.

    Got my wife a Vari desk for her BD a few months ago. She loves it.

    ^^^ +1 (FWIW)
    The mobility of cleaning solution products like DeOxit (D5) is so high, it can usually find a way in to most controls, IMO and IME, sealed or not. Just like dust. ;)
    Sometimes it just takes patience and time. I've plenty of the former, although the latter's still a development area for me. B) At any rate, if one uses the "hit and hope" (or is that spray and pray?) approach, clean up excesses.
