Cleaning tube pins


Anyone have any suggestions for cleaning gold plated tube pins on NOS tubes. I have heard that Caig's is not the answer. Plus, I do not want to take the chance of removing the gold plating.

Anybody tried the Zeiss lens wipes? Work great on glass lenses and camera lenses...on gold plated tube pins??

I use Isopropyl alcohol.

Dampen a clean white cotton cloth with Isopropyl alcohol. (Like a piece of an old white T shirt). Wipe down the pins good with the dampened alcohol clean cloth. Continue cleaning the pins with a new clean part of the dampened alcohol cloth until there is no longer any residue on the white cloth. Wipe dry.

Vodka on a cotton ball/swab! Also recommended by A.J. Van den Hul for cleaning styli.
