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.
