Hi Ron, All,
Sorry to hear that you seem to have lost your backup of the copy.
I sure would like to read Part Two. ;-)
I'm thinking about what would be possible with modern (Non DDS
technology) components, retaining that same relatively simple, basic
synthesizer principle.

I have an HP VTVM and when I first got it, the range switch seemed
erratic. I made the mistake of liberally applying De-Oxit to the switch and
boy,
it got really erratic after that. It took 2 or 3 days of leaving it
outside in the summer sun to get the switch to dry out and it's been

I had a somewhat similar experience. I hadn't written, as I was reluctant to
badmouth the De-oxit, as that seems to be the cleaner/lubricant of choice with
the Drake crowd. I just figured it must be something else, and it probably is.
I got some of the tiny pink $3 tubes (D-100L) at
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know of a good substitute for the old reddish-brown anti-corona
brush-on dope that was sold under the trade name of, I believe, Glyptul...?

*I have used Deoxit for years and never knew that I was using it wrong, I
always thought more was better so when my old Drakes started giving me
trouble I would spray the heck out of the band switch and anything else I
could reach. Now
Dale,
I don't know what is the root of your R-4A problem but from your
discription I doubt it was unevaporated DeOxit. One thing DeOxit
cannot fix is wafer switches that are no longer in good alignment or
where the wipers have lost their pressure contact.. DeOxit takes care
of surface oxides,
Not sure if any of the threads have mentioned this, but I like the DeOxit Pen.
I think it is lower concentration, and works espcially well on tube pins.

I have always used GC's Corona Dope. It rescued sockets for 8008 and
866A mercury vapor rectifiers among other things. I am glad to hear that
the feds haven't banned it yet.

I still have a bottle of Cramolin and can attest that you only need a minuscule
