I have used Caig's Cramolin R5 aerosol for applications where ordinary
contact cleaner did nothing at all.  Great stuff, but they no longer
make it.  DeOxit and R5 Power Booster are the replacements and
supposedly just as good.  Caig accepts orders on its web site and also
has as a special a kit of 2 cc. squeeze tube samples of six of its
products, R5 Power Booster, DeOxit, two types of ProGold and two types
of MCL lubricant, for $9.95.
