Yo, twit:

Watch for that stranger with a phone pointed in your direction. Could happen at any time, anywhere that you crawl out from under your rock, or out of your cellar. Really.

But it makes a great flame thrower. I think the propellant has
something to do with that.

WD-40 is a CLEANER - for mechanical
movements only, not electronics. As such,
it should be followed up with a proper lubricant
in door hinges, latches, or anything else it
has been used to free up around the home
or business.

For electronics, use electronics cleaner. That's
why it's called 'electronics cleaner/spray'.

Have you ever read the specs for WD40?

Most cleaners clean things that are 'not on the tin'.

Used to have propane. I used it on tent worms. Now very hard to ignite.

The volume control wheel (at the side) has lost
all fine-tuning capability, and makes appalling
noises when operated as it jumps at random from
high to low volume.

Is there a fix; is it a loose connection, dust or
grit in the works? Should I just flush it out.

Otherwise the radio works well.

Sometimes all one need to is twiddle the control back & forth a dozen or 2 times.

Definitely t hat's the easiest and likely to make it work for a while.
I just left on a trip and the radio that was supposed to play to make
it sound like I was home had t he no-play problem, but twiddling the
volume a bit made it good enough to last until I get home, probably,
since no one will be moving it.

Sometimes it also needs some cleaner sprayed into the pot. Sometimes that doesn't fix it & it needs its terminals resoldering.

I fixed it by flushing the area around the volume
wheel with isoPropanol. The wheel is slightly
harder to turn though this might improve as
remaining traces of solvent evaporate.

It won't. You've flushed all the lubrication out of
it.

You have two choices with Phil, agree with him, or

Petroleum jelly is usable as a lube for electrical things.

Ignore Phil, he's strange.
