That may be so, Jason, but all of us have heard the horror stories of those
that "doused" the bandswitches, had the wafers swell, and cracked them while
forcing them through the bind. Best bet is to be sparing with the DeOxit,
putting it only on the metal contacts, with swabs, syringes, etc as many are
suggesting. We wouldn't want to give new Drake enthusiasts the idea that
because one rig "healed" in six months that all will.

I was recently cleaning up my "new" R-4B and I used "DeoxIT" on the
bandswitch contacts. My bandswitch is now rather hard to turn. I assume I
messed up the switch lubrication. Anyone have any advise on bandswitch
lubrication (before I mess something up) ??
I know a guy who drowned his R-4A wafer switches with the red Deoxit and
they are fine 6 months after he did this. So... there you have it.
