I have some old radios that make that scratchy noise when I tune between

I will buy a can of Deoxit and do my own "expert review" of Deoxit.

Use white vinegar on the battery crud.

Funny, for me baking soda works a treat.

A spoon full of Baking Soda in a glass of water works for stomach
indigestion.A spoon full (or two) in a cup of hot water works for
getting battery acid off of auto batteries.A bowl of Baking Soda in the
refrigerator works for keeping the regrigerator smelling ok.Bakng Soda
is great for some food recipes.But,Baking Soda or White Vineger for
removing battery corrosion from radios?,,,,, Forget It!,it doesn't work
at all.

I went to the food store this afternoon and then I stopped at a gas
station to buy some gasoline for my lawn mower.By that time,I had
forgotten all about going to the Radio Shack store for a can of
Deoxit.It doesn't matter that much to me anyway,I am not in a
hurry.Maybe next week,I might think about it,maybe never.

Sodium bicarbonate shouldn't be taken for acid indigestion. It is
dangerous and too high in sodium. Use calcium carbonate.
