[TenTec] OT - Desk Microphone Switch Issue

[Duane Calvin]

Good ol' fish oil - the "secret" ingredient in WD-40.  Or so I hear - maybe
that's apocraphal?!

I'll second that comment.  It "may" work for electronics; though I've not
had much luck with it, but it'll leave interesting deposits that I've found
in firearms lubed and cleaned with WD40.  That evidence is enough to prompt
me to refrain from spraying it on much anything else.

have made several dollars cleaning Browning semi-auto shotguns the owner had
sprayed full of WD-40 and  stuck the action.
