Foreword
Since Caig Laboratories now have a lot of different products and The Idiot's Guide to Using DeOxit (revisited) is becoming a bit old, I decided to do a shortened version of it with spoilers for those who want more information. Also, I added a definitions part for word underlined and in...
Hello there, I recently inherited a 1000A tube receiver, I have replaced all the Elna and Suzuki oil caps, and have extensively cleaned all the controls.
The recap / Deoxit restored proper function to a lot of the tone controls, inputs, balance, and other functions.
However I have a weak right...
Hi Folks. I have an SX1010 that was 'refurbished' by an unnamed member of the forums who offered such services in PMs when I posted about failing transistor issues when I first purchased it a few years back.
Long story short, it was a bad experience. It took them almost a year, they increased...
I have a CR-1040 needing some maintenance. I thought instead of asking questions all over the forum, I would just consolidate most of them in one spot.
The receiver has been in storage for more than 20 years and it was working perfectly when stored. I have powered it up and it sounds fine...
There are mainly 4 types of DeoxITs according to https://system.na3.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=1731&c=ACCT113328&h=39a7ad1dcf8b316671a7&_xt=.pdf
D5 Spray, Gold G5, Shield S5, and Fader F5
If my understanding is correct, I should first use D5 to spray all the knobs, pots, and switches...

I've been using this stuff for a few months now in power switches that I've rebuilt and in panel switches like the Marantz speaker switches. I've been very happy with the results. It's a non-conducting grease with an additional shot of DeOxit added for continual cleaning. When I disassembled a...
Hi Folks,
This is my first post, hope you wonderful guys will help me.
I just bought a pioneer sx-727 locally. The unit works well except for the volume control is noisy and can lose sound in left or right channel sometimes. I decided to deoxit the volume part. I took off the front panel and...
I picked up a NAD 7100 receiver a few years ago. Sounded great. I haven't used it since then. I tried it a few days ago, and now it has a serious issue with the volume control. The knob has no effect below about 10 o'clock — it plays LOUD and ONLY loud — I can't turn it down. The problem wasn't...
I figured I might post this here, though I also submitted to the Beoworld forum (but haven't heard anything yet - cf. http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/t/26308.aspx)
I wanted to pick your brains about a tape deck I have, the Beocord 2400: https://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=945...
Ok, I've googled this topic several times and read everything I can find in this and other forums. I am well aware of the warnings: Do NOT use Deoxit on the volume pot of the Sherwood S-7100A, or other Sherwood receivers that have the on/off switch integrated with the volume control.
It is...

Hi - long time lurker, first-time poster. This forum as been helpful for my gear in so many ways! However, I've searched and don't see an answer to what I'm pondering currently so I thought I'd ask.
I'm looking for tips/assist on the best way to apply Deoxit to the pitch wheel on my Technics...
I have a Technics 7300 where the left channel does not work correctly, regardless of whether I am trying to use the remote or main output. I have also tried different inputs to further verify that the problem is tied to the left channel output. As of now I have used Deoxit twice. The first time...
Hi everyone!
I recently acquired a Pioneer sx 1010 receiver, and am super excited about it! It has the common scratchy, intermittent pot issues. I have successfully cleaned my Kenwood KR 5400 pots with deoxit. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions about the 1010? Is it reasonable for a...
Hi guys, my beloved AM-2350 black amp is acting up since a few months. Used to make a kind of soft hiss sound after a while when I turned it on, so I took off the cover and used contactmatic (the closest thing to deoxit down here) and then it seemed to improve.
But the noise was still there...
