Who lets their knobs get dirty? Wash you hands first! Some of mine are from the early days of NorCal and Elecraft. Maybe I don’t have much oil on my skin! Ha! I have bought some used gear from the 1950’s and 60’s and sprayed them with WD40. Rub til clean. Then dish soap and toothbrush if needed to get the WD40 off. That is knobs from the boxes under the tables at swaps...... some vendors never figured out that I would pay more for a clean rig or parts.
