Good luck on restoring cleanliness to the Neotek, Pete. Speaking
of Molex connectors, I recently had a run-in with Panduit connectors
while migrating a pair of 1E channel strips to a vintage Neve console
frame. Got the gorgeous-sounding strips from your own, Ned
Clayton. I asked here for a schematic when I had trouble getting
the Phantom power working. Ned gave me good advice on working with
the circuit. The culprit was inconsistent contact inside the little
connectors to the balancing boards. Here's a mini blog on that job:

hey all -
so i'm restoring an older series 3c here and after taking out
all the modules, i'm finding that the backplane has this greasy
gunk over some sections. (see photos). anyone ever see anything
like this in older gear? is this some lube or cleaning agent
that has transformed into goo after years? i'm cleaning this out
with q-tips, but it's in the molex connectors as well (i'm
assuming)... what's the best bet to clean this out thoroughly?
Caig?
thanks all...
