Heath LMO question

[Scott Johnson]

Silver loaded grease is available through the electronics parts jobbers, it
comes in a tiny tube, and costs about $10.00, probably a lifetime supply for
most people.

was a compound that contained silver. Seems it was very expensive and no
idea where a small tube might be available. Fred W7PRV
