I was looking at buying some fusible links for a Sansui 9090 a couple of months back from QRXrestorations last month. While looking at their site I saw they were recommending Corrosion X for cleaning of switches and pots. I went ahead and bought a small bottle of Corrosion X to try it out. Let me tell you this stuff works. I have a Sansui 6060 that I've had for about ten years. It's my main receiver in my workshop. I do swap in other amps from time to time, but the 6060 carries about 70 percent or so of the load.
Last weekend the volume pot on the 6060 was starting to get a touch scratchy. I pulled the 6060 out of the system stripped it down and reached for the Deoxit when I remembered the Corrosion X. So I grabbed the Corrosion X and used it. I turned every pot two or three times and pushed buttons two times after application. Put it back together, put it back in the system and turned it on. I put on Stephen Stills first album and was surprised how good the thing sounded, nice air around the highs, bass carried more weight and was a touch more accurate. The 6060 had never sounded better.
I decided to try this stuff on the interconnects. Grabbed a Qtip soaked it good with Corrosion X, pulled off the interconnects one at a time. I swabbed the outside of the inputs and the pin on the interconnects and put them back on. Then I did the speaker connects by swabbing the banana plugs and the small pins on the 6060s outputs. I put the Stills album back on and was surprised by low level pops I hadn't heard before. I think what was happening was I was getting more signal thru the interconnects. I did a wet clean on the album and put it back on. The low level pops were pretty much gone and the album sounded amazing, sweet mid range with very nice detail and tighter bass. I was actually getting goosebumps.
My next victim was a Superscope R1220. This thing has always been a problem child. It uses cheaper switches and pots. When they get dirty it takes two or three applications Deoxit to clear things up. I used the same procedure I had used on the 6060. To my surprise it cleaned it with one application. The pots also have a better feel to them, sounds nice too for a Marantz.
I also did a Pioneer SX-990 that I got last summer. When I got it the right channel was weak and I cleaned it with Deoxit three times but the right channel never got any better. I hit it with Corrosion X this morning and low and behold I have a good right channel now. I'm going to run it for a few days to see if it holds up.
This stuff works and is easy and quick to use and you don't have to follow up with Fader Lube or some other lube before using the equipment.
