[TenTec] Getting familiar with Corsair.

[Tommy]

Ed,

Congrats...those are really good old radios.

See if you can find some Cramolin R-5 (in a red can) and Cramolin B-5 
(in a blue can). This is the 'pot cleaner' that Ten Tec recommends 
for the pot's in their rigs. Spray the R-5 in each pot first, as it 
is a cleaner and lubricator. About an hour later, spray the B-5 in 
each pot, as it is a preservative. It's kinda confusing because both 
cans state they are preservative...but it works very good. I would 
not  recommend anyone's regular 'tuner cleaner' or such.

Have fun with the Corsair.

73,
