Deoxit Gold

I have been using Deoxit for over 25 years it is just short of a miracle
solution you have to try it and see just a very small amount does the trick.

Bill,

I started with Deoxit 5 months ago. Until then I was used to removing the
front panel every few months and cleaning the contacts with alcohol to stop
the recurring error messages. No error messages since then though have had
the odd loss of pll lock while tuning which may or may not be poor contact
related. It's the old conundrum of proving a negative but so far so good.

I originally bought Deoxit Gold which I didn't realise was a 'contact
conditioner' rather than a cleaner and that is what I used back in May. I
was about to fit the DVR so decided to buy the standard Deoxit (cleaner) and
do the cleaning/conditioning as per instruction while I had the radio apart.
It's recommended to do a clean with Deoxit and then treat with Deoxit Gold
which it says will prevent the contacts losing condition. Just put it all
back together now so will wait to see if I'm problem free. Deoxit certainly
has a good press.....
