I have sucessfully used NOALOX on a KT-34A. The stuff KLM sends (and
sells) with the KT-34 is different and works really well, but NOALOX (or
something similar) is readily available at local electrical supply houses.
I had a KT-34 up for about 7 years with no problems. I now have a KT-34XA
up and I used the stuff KLM supplied for that. It's been up about 3 years
with no problems with the joints.
