[Hallicrafters] Cleaning Band Switch (SX-42/62)

[w5jo at brightok.net]

I gave up on Deoxit a long time ago Skip.  It lasts only so long and, when 
gone, the problems return.

Depending on the wear of the contacts, I have better luck with Denatured 
Alcohol.  Not only does it clean, it drives out the moisture that may have 
accumulated in any wafers.  It takes more work and time but lasts much, much 
longer.

If the contacts are worn badly, good luck.

Hi, I have been using Deoxit on a long q-tip to try to clean the contacts on 
the Band Switch. Only so-so effective. Any suggestions? How are others 
cleaning contacts? Thanks.
