[R-390] Dead Bands and bad connections

[Tisha Hayes]

Another trick on "dirty" connections is to use No-Ox-Id from Sanchem. It is
actually a conductive "grease like" substance that I first used in the power
industry on bus-bar connections. All it takes is an incredibly tiny amount
on tube pins or the center pin of coax connectors.

You definitely would not want to use this on a rotary switch where you have
a wiping contact as you can end up making a conductive track across switch
positions.  I think the last place I saw it sold went for around $5 for a 4
oz container. That would be enough to last you for the rest of your life in
our type of application.

We also used it inside of compression fittings for 500-MCM AWG cables and on
split-nut type connections.
