Well, Walker, since I don't see anyone jumping in here to answer you, let me
take a stab at it. First, DeOxit should be used sparingly, like a drop at a
time, and NEVER sprayed on a bandswitch, or like switch with phenolic
wafers.
I use a toothpick (or insulin syringe if I can find them) to put a drop
right where I want it on the contact, then work the switch several times to
work it in. I put a drop in each hole of a tube socket and work the tube
gently to get it distributed. I would advise being careful of using it
around front panels, plastic pieces etc without testing a small area. I
don't think it is caustic or harmful, but these cosmetic parts are not
easily found if damaged.
I don't see too much lubricant, if any, in DeOxit, so don't think it is good
long term for use in potentiometers. Caig has other products for that (like
Faderlube or something like that).
Maybe that will give you a start, then others can chime in with better
details, hi.
73,
