Electrical contact cleaning
« on: 02 November 2012, 09:32:50 »

I've a 20 plus year old Cyrus 2 amp which is starting to suffer on the sound quality front.

The RCA inputs are starting to get pretty crappy so i'm looking to clean them up  :y

We used to use a spray by a company called "electrolube contact cleaner" when I was it the mob which was the tigers gonads at removing oxidised crap of terminals ect.

Can you still get this stuff or can anybody recomend anything which will do the job as well.

I've checked the interconnects (Audioquest Turquoise) and have proved them ok.

You can still get contact cleaner from the likes of Maplins and even Halfords

Good stuff that, but be careful the early versions of it use to contain a chemical, cant remember the name, that would melt or eat into plastic, as Mark says, Maplins, CPC, Screwfix and Halfords, newer stuff should be fine but always test or check on plastic first.
