Ken,
I haven't run into many of these newer units that have been discussed so I
certainly don't profess to know all about them...I was just relaying my
experience. I will certainly be cautious of them when they come in.
The method that I use is a #2.5 pencil sharpened then flattened on the end
so that the tip just fits the path of the contact. I use electroclean
solvent with the pencil and it cleans and poliches the track without
scratching. I extend the contacts a bit, treat with some silicon based
tuner spray (similar to the Channel Master product mentioned...wish they
still made that stuff) and reassemble. I have also used Deoxit(cramolin)
and it works great but is more expensive and I am not sure that it is really
any better when you can get to the contacts. If the contacts are intact I
see no reason to replace them. If anyone figures out what is really going
on with these new units let us know.
