Thanks. See my reply to the other post for what I bought. At least I now know what the heck he meant by "little" bottle.high percentage Deoxit. I think.

buckeye56, I agree it can be confusing with all the different Deoxit products for different purposes.
It it clicks use this, if it slides use this, if it rotates use this...and so on.
CRC QD is used by many, sometimes as the only product, sometimes as a give it hell and batten down the hatches heavy flushing effort, and then followed up with possibly Deoxit Red a separate lubrication fluid, like D5 fader lube.
My first Deoxit "kit" (Technicians Survival Kit I believe it's called) had I think 3 little tubes like what you posted and 3 small skinny cans of (maybe) the same 3 products, some q-tips and several other assorted cleaning items.
The RED deoxit comes in two formulations (I think) D5 and D100 (which is the high % one).

Ooof, it is. But I did the best I could yesterday, using the D5 followed by the little tube of Faderlube. Too beat to hook up yesterday, and when I did this morning, it worked! The problematic left channel, which I thought was dead, is back and I am sooooo happy that my receiver is back in business. Only thing that needs attention now is the faulty cueing UP function of my Technics SL D35 turntable, and the tonearm inability to lift high enough at the end of playing to return "home." No way am I capable of fixing them, so will have to pay close attention at the end of playing so I don't scratch my records. Thank you for your help!

Deoxit seems to be the most popular choice, possibly due to the fact it works and also word of mouth referrals. I just wish it was easier to choose a product, or my reading comprehension was good enough to know which product to use where. Unless a person is refurbing/repairing many units, I've found a can of Deoxit can last me a l o n g time. I have D5 and Fader lube here and those cans are a few years old.
In addition to stereo gear 've also used D5 on my phones charging contact points and remote controls battery connections.
CRC QD (and maybe their other products) also have a place, and in many cases they work and cost less.
But what caught my eye is your turntable issues.
Perhaps you might start a thread in the turntable section (those TT folks know a LOT and it might be a better choice than the Technics section, and posting the same question in two forums is not allowed) and maybe they can indeed guide you through troubleshooting and/or repair. Worth a shot I'd think.
Good luck!

Thanks so much! I just posted my TT issues somewhere in the turntable section before reading your reply. Not sure it’s in the proper section but …and will wait for the various suggestions, etc. that will undoubtedly cause me great confusion. It’s a bit tough when you only own one receiver and one turntable, when many folks own multiples of each, as they are more likely more knowledgeable abt all things. And yes, reading comprehension. I often read things multiple times so I can fully understand. My Deoxit stuff will last years, I hope!
