Thread: Corroded connectors and Deoxit

Hi

I started getting a random "bulb failure left hand indicator" messages so I pulled the bulb holder and one of the terminals was black! So I pulled them both out.

I treated them with Deoxit, 4 or 5 times over about 3 hours, as you can see the before and after pics (excuse the quality of the before pic) it now looks much better.

After cleaning I use the Deoxit gold conditioner.

I must say this stuff is excellent it is the replacement for Cramolin, which we used on recording console switches in the 80's.

If you decide to get some don't buy the aerosol it doesn't go far

I had a recent positive experience with Deoxit fixing sensitive electronic contacts with a wide carriage inkjet printer. I bought a kit for both gold and brass cleaners and protecting fluids with bottles with brushes from Jaycar, as said above. If I recall that kit only cost about $30, which was a bargain and there is an Australian importer/distributor who stocks large volume or similar specialist anti corrosion fluids from the same maker through local electronic suppliers - who I cannot recall at the moment. I'm currently also using the Deoxit gold fluid successfully with laptops and motorcycles. Regards,

Gary.
