[Drake] Caig Deoxit/2A

Sat, 28 Sep 2002 19:52:50 -0600

Fellows,

For the switches, put a drop of DeOxit on a 3x5 file card.  Place the wetted
part between the switch contact and work in back and forth a few times.
This will prevent the DeOxit from swelling the insulator material.

I have found nothing that will repair the copper.

Looking Forward,

Dennis/w0gd

Yes, Larry, use the DeOxit on your 2A, but use it sparingly.  I apply it
only in a drop at a time with an insulin syringe directly on each contact
wiper then put a drop in each tube socket pin while I'm at it.  Spraying the
switch isn't recommended, but I've not had any swelling problems using the
syringe.  Others recommend using a toothpick to place a drop where you want,
or anything similar.  Not sure what to recommend on the copper.  I choose to
leave it alone and only clean areas that need to be a good ground.
