Oops... I meant to say "the Permatex is more for stainless steel."

I found some GB OX-GARD in one of my antenna parts boxes.  That should work
better.  I think the Pentrox is more for stainless steel.

 I like Penetrox and Noalox for this application.  Just be sure to clean the
old parts thoroughly before lube-reassembly.  I like to use kerosene as a
cleaner, applied with an automotive parts cleaning brush.
Of course, you can always send it out for professional refurb.

 I don't know the conductive properties of that Permatex mixture.  Since one
of the primary purposes of the Penetrox-type mixtures is to enhance
conductivity, I wouldn't use anything that wasn't designed for the purpose
of electrical conductivity.
