[Elecraft] deoxit

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I use the canned stuff on noisy potentiometers where I give them a shot
through one of the openings. 

On any contacts, I have a 2 oz bottle with a needle applicator that puts
exactly what I want where I want it. 

Servicing ancient radars and other shipboard gear with relays and many
connectors, that tiny 2 oz bottle has lasted me more than a decade!

Hey Chris,

On my older hollowstate stuff, I usually spray a quantity into a small cup
and then use a q-tip to apply deoxit to areas in a controlled manner.  That
might not make as big a difference on newer equipment, but I was always told
it was a good idea around phenolic tube sockets.
