CAIG Laboratories DeoxIT DN5 Mini-Spray, Nonflammable 5% Solution 14 g

Amazing stuff. I have a Sansui 210 receiver that I got when I was in college 43 years ago. The unit still plays beautifully but the volume control was scratchy. It is a coupled control so it operates both the left and right speakers at once. I was able to find on the Amazon reviews that this was what I need, the stuff that isn't oily and doesn't leave too much of a residual mess. I found a YouTube video of someone fixing this problem on the same receiver as mine so I just did it the same way. Opening the back of a 4-decade old receiver and sliding the case off was a little scary but it did reveal the back of the volume switch that needed work. A few squirts on both the left and the right controls and turning the switch a few times did the trick. Magical. There is absolutely no sound that shouldn't be there now. Not even the slightest scratchy noice. It no longer cuts out on the left side which I had the most issues. You don't need much but you do need it. It works great and now the unit is perfectly good.

Although not cheap, the product works magic for vintage electronics, quieting pots, and cleaning contacts. There is a brush-on product also. I put it on an old brass lamp light socket. The brass was corroded, and lights screwed into base would "flicker" due to lack of conductivity. This product fixed that problem. I have also used the brush-on product (deoxit 100%) in motor points. It cleaned up, and made those work well too. Good stuff.

I don't know what this stuff is or how it works, and I don't care. It's nothing short of magic. I've squirted it in 60 year old pots that didn't even work anymore except to make loud crackling noises, and after a squirt and a few turns back and forth, they came back to life like nothing had ever been wrong. In less filthy pots, it's like they're brand new again. If it wasn't so expensive I'd buy it by the ammo pack and give it away to all my friends (who would be completely baffled and have no use for it), just because I love it so much. Sometimes I'll spray a little into newish pots that don't have any issues yet just in hopes to stave off any later contamination. Especially in guitars that may have some fine particulate sawdust inside that can cause some scratchiness, this is a good way to stave that off. Nobody likes that muffled roar of a scratchy pot in a loud guitar amp. As soon as this little bottle runs out, I'll probably upgrade to the large size.

Unbelievable product! After years on the shelf, fired-up my precious first real amplifier, which I purchased as a boy 47 years ago, and sadly, the volume control crackled and cutout horribly. Did some research and ran across DeoxIT. Carefully removed the case, which had never been opened, found an opening in each pot to spray into, and gave each one a tiny shot. Worked the controls at little and reassembled. Hooked it up and nothing short of a miracle; no crackling, cutouts, etc.; all controls worked smoothly and quietly. DeoxIT is a wonder drug for amplifiers!Once again... Decided to get back into vinyl so purchased a turntable. Who'd guess my fancy tube amplifier didn't have a phono stage (an outboard's coming). So out with my trusty boyhood amplifier (integrated). Thought the turntable had a bad channel, but it turned-out to be the amplifier's selector switch. Case off, shot of DeoxIT, work the control, and back together again. Problem solved!

this stuff is a must have for any toolbox especially giant nerd like myself. Ive worked with this stuff back when I used to repair medical equipment so I had an Idea of what it could alternately be used for. I received a very nice yet badly treated keyboard that had clearly had something spilled on it and several of the keys would stick soooo, knowing the properties of this stuff(somewhat of a degreaser, non conductive and good for polishing up and cleaning plastics) I ordered it and it worked like a charm! no more sticky keys, all gunk removed from the exterior it looks like new and I saved a $100 gaming keyboard from the dumpster. the end

I have a little Tivoli iSongbook radio/iPod speaker that has been one of the best sounding little portables around for years. No, it won't charge my iPhone 4, but it plays fine on it and sounds great.But the detachable left speaker's internal cord reel was getting scratchy with age, and you could only hear the right channel intermittently. Without disassembling anything, I inserted the little red straw through the cord hole and found the spinner contacts and hit them with a generous spray of DeoxIT.After extending and retracting the cord a few times, all scratchiness was gone and performance was as-new.I've been using DeoxIT/CAG products on pots for decades, and it always works like a charm. I see no reason to switch, and this little mini spray lives in my desk so I don't have to go out to the garage for it. If you have a scratchy volume control get this stuff.

I have a 30 year old spring driven clock which finally stopped working. Research suggested replacement of the movement as the best option ,as the clock movement was more than 25 years old, worn,and dirty. My son seggested I try DeoxIT DN5 first. Since the clock had stopped I had nothing to lose but the cost of the product. It was worth a try.The DeoxIT worked like a charm. I sprayed the movement liberally and it immediatly started working! Beats spending over $ 200 for a new clock movement.
