I'm glad Tony recommended it. It's a lot cheaper than DeoxIT.


Nice if you have wood constructed machine.

Naah, I've been known to earn a reply, now and

i am looking for the liqid that somehow replates gold contacts in things like remotes.

the gbc ultima 65 has a membrame switch like inside a remote. where the contacts get dirty and the machine quits working.

this stuff used to be common till gold became so expensive

I've not known there was such a product. Gold isn't very
chemically reactive, so I kind of question if any consumer
product really replated gold contacts.

Be interesting to learn if there is such a product.
One friend of mine repairs broadcast radios, and he'd
sure have a use for it.

I wish I'd known about that. I have a fancy AM-FM radio with preset
stations and 2 alarms, but it has push button switches. After 15 years
some got dirty, and I cleaned them but they get dirty progressivly more
quickly. Now it lasts less than a year and so I haven't used the radio
for years.

Anything else I can use that might be not as good but similar?

This looks good. Thanks.

My imediate need is for switches with metal to metal contact, and I
realize that's what DeOxit is for. I have a can of that, though I
didn't the last time the radio needed fixing.

We used to clean contacts with a burnishing tool, like an extremely fine
file. Contact cleaner may work. I had a key switch in an old car where
contact cleaner would fix it temporarily. Eventually, I tried WE-40. It
has worked ever since.

I tried contact cleaner and I couldnt' get in all the way but I gently
scraped with a pen knife

WE-40, huh. That's the successor to WD-40 iiuc. I'll try it.

I may try De-oxit too. maybe half of the keys with one and half with
the other. No promises but I'll get back to you in a year or two.

Looks like I need to spray my keyboard with WF-40.

I tried WTF-40, but after that I really didn't care
one way or the other.
