light oil work, very light, but I use the silcon grease from RS.

| Hi Gang:
|
| I have been playing with several of my MilCom sets and am having a devil 
of
| a time getting the audio connectors to couple to the radios. This is on my
| PRC-74B and my TRC-77A.
|
| I had tried the old saliva trick, but that is only marginal. It took me 10
| minutes to hook a pair of headphones to the 77B last nite! Finally got 
them
| on their but is was a fight to the finish.
|
| Some time back someone on one of these lists said something about a
| connector lubricant sold by R-S. Anybody remember that conversation? Gotta
| get something that works a little easier that saliva.
