[TenTec] Omni A-D Series B project Con't

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

RS won't have DeoxIT. Other contact cleaners are poor excuses. Spray 
contact cleaners are NOT good for the radio leaving solvents in the 
insulators. Look to Antique Electronic Supply for DeoxIT, get a dropper 
bottle. Its not cheap, but used a quarter drop at a time, it will last 
decades in ordinary use.

Though the RS web page claims half the stores near here have spray cans 
in stock,

To use the spray can properly, spray it into a metal pan, like the metal 
lid from a juice bottle. Then dip a tooth pick into the liquid and 
transfer a tiny drop to the switch contacts. DON'T SPRAY THE STUFF ALL OVER!
