Tube socket contact cleaners

[Bob S]

Small dental brushes - you guys using these ? Works pretty good with a little de-oxit. Scrub then tighten.
But don't forget to drain the caps.

Great idea Bob!

That is a great idea. Good for RCAs too I bet.

[David Root]

Good stuff Bob! Where do you get them??

[Bob S]

Any drug store - almost wrote chemists. A drug store is something different where I come from.

I got these at CVS.

I love it guys come up with cool new tools and ways to do stuff!

Got some of the straight-handle ones a year or so back, good cleaning tool. Besides the ergonomic handle, is yours motorized like modern toothbrushes?

[Structo]

I have used pipe cleaners but they are a bit wimpy.

The downlow cheap way is to use a cut off section of a round wound string with the needed OD to just expand the tube socket reciver pin a bit as you scrub it in and out, and yes drain the power supply which can be done easy if the amp has a standby switch that you can flip on with the mains switch off of course!
