Cleaning RCA Connectors

[Thirdstageman]

Okay, I know this may sound pretty dumb, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best way to clean the RCA Connectors in the back of my multitracker?

Thanks!

By the way, there are no stupid questions!

Okay, your right: there are no stupid questions. But I'm sure I'll make you wonder when I ask what is Caig Deoxit? Is this an actual product or....?

Yes. Caig DeOxIt is a spray that cleans up connections. It used to be called Cramolin. You can get it at Markertek, Mouser, or your local electronics supply store (NOT Radio Shack!).

Spray a little on the male connectors of an RCA cable, and insert and remove from your recorder's jacks a few times. A little goes a long way. Don't spray it into the recorder, as electronics generally don't like large doses of Deoxit.

By the way, you CAN get it at Radio Shack. They just started selling it there!
