_WWW.QSRADIO.COM_ (http://www.QSRADIO.COM)  also has some Caig  products, 
but not sure about this one. He has a store and manufacturing in  Conn. and 
travels extensively for eastern hamfests as well as mail/web order.  He's 
also heavy into power poles and products of his own design incorporating  them. 
A good guy with lots of innovative products.

Hey!
I went back and looked at this webpage again:  http://store.caig.com/
There is a note there that one of the featured  products replaces the 
ProGold!

It says:
"Featuring Environmentally  Safe Contact Cleaners / Connector Enhancing
Treatments: DeoxIT® D-Series,  DeoxIT® Gold G-Series (formerly ProGold),
DeoxIT® Shield S-Series (formerly  PreservIT), DeoxIT® Fader F-Series
(formerly CaiLube MCL) and the  NEW,  HAND-E-GLOVE®"

See especially this: "DeoxIT® Gold G-Series  (formerly ProGold)"

And, they say it is now stocked at Radio  Shack!

Try it, you'll like it....

do
