I will try, but feel that it will be a short term fix like everything else I've
tried. Is there any kind of long-lasting "contact enhancer" that could be used?
I was thinking about anti-sieze paste. It has a lot of aluminum in it. I think
you can get it with copper also.

Yep I've cleaned the socket and pins, used DeOxIt spray, tried the foam

IIRC, yes. I don't remember if they're also varnished or not.

I pour it on the back and push it around with a stick. Don't let any
drip through holes in the board, or drip around the outside.

Yep, if something's not working on my W123 or W116 it's either FUSES, vacuum,
or mechanical. No computers. Closest thing would be the ACC, cruise control,
and tachometer. None of which work on either of my cars.

So this CD I have had been sitting in the barn since like forever. New brakes
do that’s good but it had sat before I got it and needs various other things.

Only bummer is that it's a 79, meaning it's naturally/normally aspirated (no
