In the Thread: Relief from micro-arcing tube pins?
Post Subject: Relief from micro-arcing tube pins?Posted by Paul S on: 9/28/2008
Wonder if ordinary "di-electric grease" would work on tube pins? Anyone ever try it?
It works for old car distributors and electrical service connections, which is to say, other high votage applications.
Like I said in the ML2 thread a few posts back, I found out the hard way that Caig "contact cleaner/enhancers" do not survive the tube pin environment, not to mention truly disasterous results with the old "Tweak" "enhancer", not just on tube pins (eeek!!!) but on ANYTHING. A common pattern for not-up-to-it "enhancers" is, sounds better at first but quickly declines to way worse, then it's a PITA to clean it off.
Do I have to be the Guinea pig?
