Went to Radio Crack today to pick up some Deoxit, they apparently have
replaced it with a house brand tuner cleaner, anyone tried it? or
should I order the real Deoxit online? Immediate application would be
to clean up connections on a wiring harness on an old car that I will be
installing within the next week or so, but I also have some old audio
stuff kicking around that will eventually need cleaned up...

Hi,
Test it first whichever you use. Somre attacks plastics.

I haven't tried the stuff in the store but I have to say that Deoxit -
D5 is *the* stuff. I can't remember what the last can of stuff I
had was, but 4-5 yrs ago somebody turned me on to Deoxit & I couldn't
believe the difference. I can't understand why they have it *only*
on the web.

The banned freons worked the best...all the new cleaners are a piece
of crap that shouldn't even be used as they impart stickiness and
don't clean worth a hoot.

Just be sure to choose the Radio Shack tuner cleaner made for _color_
TVs.
They used to sell B&W and color versions, and I noticed no difference
except price.

Oh my God, I remember the horror's of dealing with mechanical TV tuners.
A friend of mine ran a TV tuner repair/rebuild franchise where TV shops
sent tuners to be rebuilt. He had a couple of ultrasonic cleaning vats
from hell that took all the gunk off anything dropped in them. The
electronic supply houses back in the 1970's sold all sorts of different
miracle TV tuner cleaners. It was a fun time back then. Quite often we
would take a TV set out back and fog it with insecticide then watch the
roaches run in all directions.

Then, check your air in your tires with a "Radial" tire gage.

I've seen window AC full of roaches.

One elderly TV guy used to swear by WD-40 as tuner cleaner.
