I frequently run into this problem and wonder if any one has come up with a
easy, simple solution:
How do you clean the tube socket connections?
This is a big problem on a rig that has been sitting for a long time and has
been stored in less than ideal conditions.
The tubes check ok but when I wiggle the tube there is either a lot of noise
in the receiver or the filament goes out.
The solder connections on the socket are ok.
I have tried squeezing the contacts together with a small pick and used
contact cleaner and it helps somewhat, but the above problem still persists.
. . .
Any ideas????
