I seem to recall reading that there was a right way to use DeOxit, and
specific areas where you shouldn't use it at all., but I can't pull the
details out of memory. (There were stories about connections not being
made any longer, phenolic wafers swelling and switches not working,
lubrication being disolved and shafts no longer turning -- I just don't
remember which of those related to DeOxit or it's inappropriate use). I
believe you shouldn't get this stuff anywhere near the PTO.
I just purchased some DeOxit D5, and was intending to use it to clean a
bandswitch, and antenna selector switch on an MN-2000. I've also got an
R-4B and T-4X that I wanted to go thru the bandswitches, pots, etc on.
Additionally, I recently acquired some other boatanchor hardware
manufactured by a company starting with Hallicrafter (didn't want to
mention other equipment on the Drakelist) that I'd like to do the same with.
Can anyone list the do's and dont's about DeOxit so I don't trash
otherwise perfectly good hardware?
Thanks,
Phil WA2CLX
