Don't even try. Buy a small quantity of Deoxit, available at electrical
supply houses. It is a bit pricey, but the smallest quantity will last
for years (it is used VERY sparingly). It is unquestionably the best
contact cleaner/lubricant that has ever been made.

better than famous WD-40?

Infinitely better. Besides, WD-40 is not a lubricant, it is a solvent.
And it leaves a residue.

As Bob indicated, get Deoxit. You can order it from
the manufacturer (Caig). Their online store can be found at:

Or Radio Shack has it under 910-3879 (special order). $7.95

Speaking of contact cleaner, anyone remember that Radio Shack
had two contact cleaners, one generic and another for color TV?

Hey, it worked for Nike, why not Radio Shack? I imagine they have
digital contact cleaner -- or maybe "digital ready" contact cleaner,
too. Sorry, gotta go now. I'll be going into the next room, so I have to
change out of my hardwood walking shoes into my rug walking shoes. If I
can find 'em. . . let's see, . . . jogging shoes, running shoes,
bicycling shoes, napping shoes, eating shoes. . .

I have a vague recollection that one type of "tuner cleaner" actually
included a small amount of a lightly-abrasive material, intended to
clean oxidation and cigarette tar and etc. off of the contacts in
old-style black-and-white television tuners. Some "tuner cleaner"
products also include a lightweight oil to act as a residual
lubricant. Then, there are the (preferred, IMHO) "zero-residue"
contact cleaners.

That's probably part of it, too ;-)

There was a foam pad with a gelled cleaner you put in the cover of
drum type TV tuners to wipe the contacts as they passed under the pad.
The were good on old, almost worn out tuners. The pad would last about
two years before it crumbled, and you had to service the tuner again.
