[Amps] Eimac SK-800B Socket

[Randall, Randy]

If it is silver plated, I have found that Tarn-X works very, very well and the solution is reusable many times.  A bottle will last you for years.  A few $$$ at your grocery or drug store.

Assuming the item is otherwise clean:

One relatively low-risk method is to line a glass dish with aluminum
foil, then soak the item in a heated (boiling or close) preparation of
1/4 cup ordinary baking soda to a gallon of water.

Don't leave the item in longer than necessary. (usually 5-20 minutes
gives maximum effect, or until the water cools) Rinse well with clear
water, blow off with compressed air if available and let air-dry
overnight. Discard the used solution.

Note the aluminum foil mentioned above is a necessary component of the
process.
