[Elecraft] NorCal Paddles (Deoxit)

[RABRUNER at aol.com]

DeOxit in the red can is excellent stuff for cleaning most metal contacts and keeping them working. Too aggressive for plastic volume controls though, so don't use it there.  They make another DeOxit in a blue can for that, it is also very good.  They also make a liquid for treating contacts after they have been cleaned with the red stuff and another optimized for gold contacts.   MCM Electronics sells most forms of it in the spray cans.  Check their catalog or web site.  It's also available undiluted in bulk and in larger cans as well as those little vials they sell to audiophiles.   The product is made by a company called Caig laboratories, and they have a website if you want to read all about it.
