While Cramolin is very good, I caution, excessive amounts turn corrosive. I
prefer to apply to a Q-Tip and wipe on and then wipe off. The "5"
represents the percentage of Cramolin to dispersant. Thus a 5% solution.
Actually Cramolin is a discontinued product. There are replacements sold by
CAIG Labs. Here's a link that may help.

I understand that Pro Gold or DeoxIT from Caig Labs works equally well and
it is environmentally safe.

Ed,
Congrats...those are really good old radios.
See if you can find some Cramolin R-5 (in a red can) and Cramolin B-5
(in a blue can). This is the 'pot cleaner' that Ten Tec recommends
for the pot's in their rigs. Spray the R-5 in each pot first, as it
is a cleaner and lubricator. About an hour later, spray the B-5 in
each pot, as it is a preservative. It's kinda confusing because both
cans state they are preservative...but it works very good. I would
not recommend anyone's regular 'tuner cleaner' or such.
Have fun with the Corsair.

I finally got a chance to put some time in with my
first Corsair. Really like it but have some questions.
The readout is about 300hz off and can't zero the
counter any closer. No big deal but if it can be fixed
that would be nice. Also, the ALC control is
erratic at some power levels and smooth at others. The
POT is smooth on ohmmeter. Any help or input would
be appreciated.
