[TenTec] Cleaning Tentec switches

[Greg S]

.... Think about it... This came from a group using farm wagon grade bearing grease in PTO's. DeOxit is fine. Used sparingly. Greg, KC8HXO

 I had not heard a Ten-Tec
 recommendation against DeOxit before. I use it on
 connectors in my Omni VI and Paragon. Also on
 potentiometers and switches.
 Never on PCB
 trace pushbuttons though. What kind of trouble can I
 expect
 from my use of DeOxit on my
 Ten-Tecs?
