[TowerTalk] Old KLM Paste

[Ted Leaf]

Hi Bill,

Two years ago when I bought my KT-34A, It came with the grey zinc paste.  I 
don't know who they got it from or if they made it them self.

I myself, won't use cooper paste with aluminum.

FWIW when I built my  kt34-xa about 7 years ago, KLM supplied a
little can
of  copper-colored paste to put on the joints.    After a move
and whenn I
was reassembling the end units I found this paste had turned
very solid and
seemed to be a good insulator as the resistance checks I made on
each
element end were very high.  Don't know what KLM used but I
don't think it
was very good stuff.
