I was wondering what "bunkum" meant.
I stopped wondering whether DeOxit was any good when I had a tour of
NIST in Maryland many years ago. There were cans of it everywhere.
That told me all I needed to know; I went home and placed an order, and
have been using it ever since.
The makers do get needlessly huckstery about their product.
That they do. I think that harms their credibility in the eyes of
people who don't know their products' reputation, or those who have
never heard of Cramolin.
Fader lube is wonderful for resurrecting pots of all kinds.
Yes. And their gold wipes are fantastic for gold-plated card-edge
connectors. They leave a very slight bit of lubricant behind that makes
boards much, much easier to insert and remove. We go through them like
crazy at the museum, for Unibus and Qbus boards in particular. (you know
how tough they can be to insert and remove)
