[Collins] quick question

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

I use Cramolin but I've not had to buy any in a long time. Don't spray 
the insulating wafers, but just a small drop on the contacts and 
exercise the switch. The stuff can soak into the wafers and soften them 
or make them less insulating. The drop that will adhere to the end of a 
toothpick is about the right amount. My bottle is a drop bottle with a 
fine stainless steel hollow needle so it makes those tiny drops and 
makes it last a very long time.

Think D5 will work OK on the switches but wanted to get some feedback. The switches are starting to exhibit some intermittence. I shut the rig off and turn the switches several times and that cleans them a bit but I think that it's time to go a little further.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
