[AMRadio] Deoxit

[Hal Dale]

I think Don maybe rite. I've used WD40 on volume controls etc. for years. It just dissipates a lot faster than the DeOxit.

Who knows, DeOxit may use 3n1....Kinda smells that way when it gets old...Hal/WB4AEG

You didn't mention what type of plating is on the band switch contact 
area.
