We had a VHF 70mhz once have other frequencies coming through and on inspection we found a small area of corrosion in one tin at the base plate once cleaned all ok again .

Generally I don't ever open duplexers, a pain in the neck to take a part and way to easy to mess up putting them back together. The only time I had to do that was on a sinclair one when I dropped the rod into the can...oops.

Unless there is some pitting on the plunger body... you need only blow out the dust, put a little tiny bit of lube (I use dry silicon, teflon, or Amsoil MP) on the threaded shaft and slowly spin the plunger up and down through its range a few times. The finger stock is set up by design to polish the plunger body as it goes up and down. Silly people use the wrong type of wire wheel to scratch and embed metal into the plunger body. I've never found a need to use sand paper... s. > "georgiaskywarn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Had an experience with using "TarnX" in cleaning some Moto cans.
