: Elsewhere, people have highly recommended this
: stuff to improve the conductivity of connector and battery
: holder contacts which have become oxidized.

A high capacity battery connector (automotive and station
type) should use the "picking type" oil/grease you find
sold at local auto parts stores. The more common
brands here are NOCO, I buy the spray can which lasts
forever... part number NCP-2 from memory. It's red and
you will not escape from it's power to ruin good
clothing... ie your favorite shirt.

: I'm wondering if anyone has ever used it on filament
: contacts in an amplifier to reduce heat generation or
: restore ones that have become intermittent. Seem
: useful?

Craig Labs products are hands down the only type of
contact restoration products I trust to volume controls,
switch contacts and related electronic Items. IMO
the only real chemical animal that work well for most
basic contacts...
-
I doubt the Progold will handle the high temp of some
tube socket pins/flanges for the long term. For the
short term, it should make quite a difference. That
difference is less resistance... and the corresponding
less heat. It might help, but it should not hurt. I've
been coating contacts with it for years. Maybe I'll
check to see if they offer anything for higher temp
applications.
