I cannot find my bottle of Tweek so I need to buy some new contact
enhancer. Which one do you use and recommend?

I have looked on eBay and contact enhancers come in liquids that you
apply with a brush, squeeze tubes, and aerosol sprays. Which form
do you think is best? Thank you in advance for all replies.

Like crystals and pyramids etc.

Agreed in principle Phil, but I guess it depends on what starting point you
are 'enhancing' from. If you've got a nice clean set of contacts that are
working well, then no amount of anything on them is going to improve that.
However, I guess you could say that a contact lubricant applied sparingly,
might preserve that condition for longer than would otherwise be the case,
by preventing early oxidation of the contact surfaces. Of course, if they
are precious metal plated, that argument wouldn't hold water. If, however,
you have a set of contacts that are already performing badly, then I suppose
you could say that a squib of a decent quality proprietary switch cleaner /
lubricant, would 'enhance' the performance of those contacts. All of us in
the electronic service industry use such products on a daily basis for
cleaning switch contacts and pots etc. My one of choice for many years has
been a Servisol product called "Super 10"
