[ARC5] Connectors and contact cleaners

[Robert Eleazer]

In that regard, STAY AWAY from CRC Electro contact cleaner!  It has a picture of an electric motor on the can, and for all I know it might be fine for that kind of thing.  Based on my experience, with WWII up to about 1960 tube type electronics, using phenolic and bakelite, it probably is Okay - but I would not risk it.  But with some of the plastics they started using in the 60's  - it MELTS them.

CRC makes some electronic spray cleaners that are fine.
