OK Kids...once again...everybody have newt and stylus
handy?
Here we go:
The product I use is available at Microcenter.
Here is a nice little link for it:

It's called R5 Power Booster Electrical Contact
Cleaner/Enhancer. And what it's designed to do is
remove oxidation from all conductive metals and fill
in any surface irregularities to maximize conductive
contact. This is especially critical when voltages
with small current is involved...kinda like a touch
screen on an LCD display! It then leaves a coating on
the metal surface to aid in the prevention of the
return of corrosion. This is extremly important
becuase of the galvanization of dissimilar metals and
the ionization incured from electrical current
flow.(OK, I might be speaking out of my butt here, but
you gotta admit it sounds good)
Whatever it does, it does work. Especially with low
current devices. I use the stuff on headphone jacks,
key contacts with my Yamaha DX7IIFD synthsizer, my
POTs on my equalizer and mixdown board and even on my
car and home stereo electronic fittings (well, my CD
to tape deck is optical, but everything else is
electrical)
Spend a little time at www.caig.com. Beware
though...this stuff isn't cheap!
