Does anyone else maintain their servos, or am I just weird*?

I just finished cleaning the pots in a couple of servos in my little
much-crashed World Models AT-6.  They work great.  It's been in the
repair shop for about two years now**, but if I can get the engine
started it'll be back in the air soon.

So I'll have something that can fly upside down, without strings!

* Granted, they're Heathkit servos that I built myself (about 30 years
ago, egad!), so it's not like there are any direct replacements _or_
like I can't do the work.

** After a serious crash that broke the nose mostly off (thank goodness
for CA glue).  It happened about 30 seconds after I put the plane down
on the grass, thought "gee my allergies are bad, I shouldn't be flying
today", and took off anyway.
