The 100% DeOxit is still available.  Mine is in a little bottle with a brush
applicator.  You can get it from Caig or even from RadioShack.com.  I like
this version instead of the "spray it all over the radio" variety.  I also
recommend the ProGold in the same size bottle one the black tarnish is gone.
