Interesting. This is a great tip. Also one that makes me want to hate rivets!

Hallicrafters used rivets to attach many tube sockets and terminal strips instead of screws, and Hallicrafters guru K9AXN described a good tip.    Apply a small amount of De-Oxit to the rivet on the underside of the chassis, then using a flat screwdriver and hammer, give it a few taps.    You won't see any movement but the impact will allow the De-Oxit to wick into the tiny gaps and do it's magic.    A good approach for any riveted or otherwise inaccessible connections.
