Yeah. I use DeoxIt for everything electronic.
Batteries, PCI cards, stereo connections (I first used
it with my Technics Turntable. I used it for the
low-voltage connections from the turntable arm to the
cartridge. Got rid of a nasty hum...)
The spare Newt I got from Gem had a slight case of the
Jaggies I cured with DeoxIT. I cleaned and coated the
ribbon cable and PC board and the Newts been fine ever
since (I don't use it much, it's mainly an NPDS
server)

Why is that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life
in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
