Quite so. I used deoxit in a small 2 oz bottle with a thin syringe-like tube applicator that puts a very tiny amount on the contact. That's all it takes.

Back when Deoxit was more difficult to buy in Europe, I used Contralube 770 to cure intermittent contacts on all of the multi-way front panel connectors, which have given no further trouble for 7 years. Like all of these products, a little goes a very long way. To apply a small, controlled amount onto inline multi-way connector pins, first apply a thin layer onto the edge of a piece of card, and use that to wipe the lubricant onto the pins. **USE STRONG ANTI-STATIC PRECAUTIONS** These internal interconnections are completely unprotected against static charges! 73 from Ian GM3SEK >-----Original Message----- >From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of >Rich Assarabowski >Sent: 19 July 2016 04:50 >To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net >Subject: Re: [Elecraft] deoxit > >What's the consensus on the best stuff to use on all contacts and >connections during assembly of a new K3?
