HW-101 Help

[Jay Stratton]

Hello Van,
                 When I was a service tech I used a silicon spray made to
clean old turret style tv tuner contacts and carbon controls.  The product
was called Shield and was made by channel master. It only took one drop to
loosen the slug, any more created a big mess but it never detuned the coil
or caused any damage. Sometimes the slugs were in so tight they break
anyhow. If that happens I hope your junk box has a few spare slugs that
fit.

Jay
