How about some Deoxit into the XLRs? Shouldn't that help clean up the innards of the plug?

Do no harm at all friend! But, AFAIK Deoxit is not a lubricant, WD-40 is. Note! I am not saying FLOOD the fekkin' things! Just a smear on the mating surfaces is all that is needed and not just the lekkrikal bits, the shells jam as well.

So, you can use a bit of WD40 in a case like this? Of course don't flood it--maybe a little on a rag and wipe the plug, right? I figured the Deoxit would clean the plug and jack a bit and make it work better.

Yes, I would think De-Oxit is a degreaser as well as the other cleaning qualities it has and will therefore leave mating metal surfaces 'squeaky clean'? Metal to metal needs a lubricant, not much but some. You could probably use a trace of any mineral (clock?) oil or vegetable oil? We are talking about a very small trace here.

Thanks for the help in connecting two boards. As for removing oxidation from the terminals, I used "Electrosolve Contact Cleaner" by MG Chemicals from Amazon (15.4 fl oz for$14). The stuff worked great. I sprayed the terminals outside and with a respirator, after reading the warning label. I bought some covers for the unused RCA jacks to reduce the rate of oxidation and dust deposit.
Too bad Channel Master is NLA: after trying several other products of its kind, CM was the one and only product than proved reliable as long-term protection against audio connection issues.
