I've used Deoxit for quite a while with very good results. (This is the
Caig product, not the Radio Shack product with a *very* similar name.)
As far as application, I use one of three methods:
1) Wet the sharp end of a toothpick and use that to apply. I
use this for tube.transisto
I bought a 2mL container of Deoxit 100% together with order for couple of
tubes. So far, I have yet to use Deoxit on anything, previous postings have
made me leary. I'm understanding one drop on the stationary contact, then
rotation? Then using industrial qtip to pick up the results?

I have a bottle of liquid Cramolin that I've had almost 20 years. I see that
Deoxit is made by the same company and from what I've read Cramolin had
something in it that was deemed "bad" somewhere.
Debates aside: does Cramolin work better than Deoxit? I'm thinking right now
that Cramolin is l
Dear all,

Thanks to all who replied. I got some D100L Deoxit with needle

expect similar results with my R-4B and two T-4XB's as well as other gear.

I use DeoxiT D100L liquid in the needle dispenser bottle. I would NOT
use ANY spray product on any electronics that I valued. The needle lets
you put concentrated DeoxiT directly on the switch contacts and ONLY on
the switch contacts. Getting it anywhere else is just an attractant
I like the 100% concentration with the needle applicator.

You only need a little bit and the sprays and brushes only encourage
you to use too much.

Used Deoxit many times to clean up corroded rotary switches and it does a
great job, never made it worse.
Maybe problems are elsewhere.

I have used de-oxit many times on old National, and Clegg equipment,

may even have saturated the wafers on a switch or two in the process to

Hard to imagine DeOxit causing the problem as you used it sparingly (vs
flooding the wafer and possible inducing swelling). Did you exercise the
rig immediately after applying the DeOxit? It is somewhat conductive until
dry.
