It's a total disaster on RF connectors because it contains oleic acid,
which is great for removing oxides from electrical contacts, but
equally good at rotting off the plating from connectors over long time
periods. The reformulated DeOxit allegedly contains a different
anti-oxidant, which allegedly has the same effect.


Cramolin is still alive and well. It was and still is made in Germany,
DeOxit is made in the US, Caig used to be the US distributor of Cramolin
products, but went their own way, with a different formula.

I'm not sure which one is the one that you call "a total disaster", but
AFIK neither is to be used for anything except cleaning. Caig sells
solutions (pardon the pun) for use on connectors.

I have them because I can only buy DeOxit in small tubes off of eBay and
still get it shipped here, and that was the only way I could get fader lube,
but I have never used them.

Don't go looking it up and show me auctions of just fader lube, after I
ordered the sets, which did not show I up, I commented to the vendor
that I wanted just the fader lube and now they list it.
They also replaced the missing packages.
