[Milsurplus] Cleaning tube sockets

What I have been using:
Round wooden toothpick dipped in contact cleaner is a great clean and 
burnish for the 7 and 9 pin miniature sockets.  For speed, chuck it in the 
Dremel variable speed tool and change the toothpick every couple of sockets.
Don't forget to use the miniature Dremel wire brush on all the tube pins 
too.
Is it ever going to warm up?  Tired of living in this refrigerator!
