HALLELUJAH! >> >> Hallelujah BROTHER! Cramolin is the trademark name for a contact cleaner/restorative/enhancer/protectant from Caig Laboratories. It disolves oxides, forms a very thin oily coating that prevents oxidation, and generally cleans and protects contacts. There's (the big) Red, for things that need fixing, and Blue for brand new contacts. The stuff has some de-bouncing properties, and is completely harmless to PC boards, components, etc. It really IS everything that "TV contact cleaner" is supposed to be, and much more. It works wonders on intermitant keyboard contacts (old Mac keyboards, Elka organs, Casio digital horns....) scratchy pots and switches in any audio or other electronic application. I got the faith from my audiophile friends who claim significant sound improvement from removing the oxide from connections and internal contacts. MCM Distributors (800 543-8330, no relation or involvement) carries the stuff. You want the R5 spray, it is the most generally useful. For the devout, there is the Technicians Kit, which includes Red & Blue liquid (but it doesn't actually stop Superman) a nifty Cramolin Red paste with copper particles for those nasty jobs like automobiles, a cleaner-only spray, the R5 spray, and lots of swabs, cloths, wands, etc. Packed in a hideous fleshtone (if you are kinda beige) case, with the most amazing literature with graphics and photos from the early 1950's. The kit is $50.00, a can of the spray R5 is $10.00--a complete steal. There is a switch company that takes their 1-amp switch, daps Red on it, and sells it to the government as a 10-amp switch. Used by Team-Metlay and NASA. I don't have any financial or personal interest in Caig, or their distributors. The stuff is just plain magic and you should get some right now. It will do wonders for your spiritual development. Eirikur I have a serious need for a Voyetra-8 analog synth. Any out there?

Comments: To: SYNTH-L@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU Cramolin products are produced by the wunnerful folks at Caig Laboratories, Inc. (16744 West Bernardo Drive, Rancho Bernardo, CA 92127, (619) 451-1799) and are amazing compounds formulated to _dissolve_ most known conductive metal oxides and provide a mono-layer of protective coating to inhibit future re-formation of metal oxides. Ya gotta love a company whose motto used ta be "the less you use, the better it works" (some MBA has since had them change it...). Cramolin Red (in the 6 oz (ozone safe) propellant can is now called R-5 DeOxIT and "removes resistive oxides as it (R-5) forms a protective molecular layer that adheres to metal surfaces and maintains maximum electrical conductivity. Effective on all metals." R-5 is for restoring/preserving old contacts. Cramolin Blue (in the 6 oz (ozone safe) propellent can is now called B-5) and it "preserves newly manufactured contacts or ones pre-cleaned with Cramolin Red. Provides superior lubricating and protecting qualities for areas of high concentrations of contaminants. Effective on all metals, including gold." ANY new equipment I get, any chips I replace, any cables I make, get swooshed with a quick dose of Cramolin Blue. Everyone has Cramolin Red stories...my best one was about some radiation detection gear stored in not-quite-sealed shipping containers, in the desert (Saudi Arabia) for 6 months..the system wouldn't even come up until after cleaning all the boards, connectors, even chips in sockets with Cramolin Red, then it came up and performed flawlessly. Available from most knowledgeable audio equipment places (not to be confused with another product with similar claims (is it called Tweek??)). Or call them for someone that might sell it by mail order. Cramolin...don't leave home without it!
