Contact Cleaner

Agree with Albert. Deoxit is excellent if cleaning "crust" out of connections, motor windings, etc... Pro Gold is more of a "treatment" than a cleaner ( in my opinion ) and is designed to protect and plate the metals.

As to his comments about Trichlorothane 111, it is potent stuff and should be treated with respect. I know that it was on the EPA's "hit list" many years ago, so it may not be available any longer. As Albert mentions, it was the base agent in many "heavy duty" cleaners and that's how i became familiar with it.

Keep in mind that with anything that you use, elbow grease and attention to detail are the most important. Sean

I use Kontak too - it works extremely well. If you want to buy something a little less expensive, the Audioquest contact cleaner is very good, as well.

Want some TCE? Drink groundwater!

Thanks for the info about TCE. Believe me, I've dealt with all kinds of hazardous organic & inorganic chemicals over the years. Psychicanimal, think I'll wait for a Carbon Tet. fizz!

One of the only good things to come as a result of the tobacco industry is pipe cleaners. These things are great for cleaning tube sockets, RCA jacks, etc. Don
