As long as we are way out on this trajectory. . . Do any of you know whether
WD-40 can be used to clean electrical contacts (mechanical switches and volume
controls in hi-fi equipment)? I seem to recall that some people have done this.

FWIW, the WD means Water Displacement. The stuff was originally designed to
displace water in rocket engines. It works well for old style ignition systems
that have gotten wet. Spray it inside the distributor and on the wires, etc. It
will usually let the car start.

Noooooooo. You never oil a shutter because it accumulates crud from the
residue. You clean shutters with naptha because it leaves minimal residue.
Yes, you might as well send it on off as the WD-40 will gum it up when you
least want it to. For lack of labeled "Naptha" you could have used a little
lighter fluid or Coleman fuel.
