[Elecraft] deoxit

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Quite so. I used deoxit in a small 2 oz bottle with a thin syringe-like tube
applicator that puts a very tiny amount on the contact. That's all it takes.

Where available, a clear gel product called Contralube 770 also works well
(www.contralube.com ).

Back when Deoxit was more difficult to buy in Europe, I used Contralube
770 to cure intermittent contacts on all of the multi-way front panel
connectors, which have given no further trouble for 7 years. 

Like all of these products, a little goes a very long way. To apply a small,
controlled amount onto inline multi-way connector pins, first apply a thin
layer onto the edge of a piece of card, and use that to wipe the lubricant
onto the pins. 

**USE STRONG ANTI-STATIC PRECAUTIONS**   These internal interconnections
are completely unprotected against static charges!
