I am using scotch-brite instead of sand paper. But the metal plate is turning a bit yellow. I guess I am loosing the metal plate, actually - am I? Or should I use something else after the scotch-brite?
Corroded tube pins - need help
Hi
Just got a pair of Tung-Sol VT-231. One of the tubes has some CORRODED pins. The METAL PLATING is a bit consumed. I guess this is more problematic than simply oxidated pins - am I correct?
I read some suggestions but I am still confused. For a start, English is not my mother tongue (and this discussion tends to get a bit too technical for my English skills) plus I found many different opinions.
Some people say even toothpaste is a good solution (for corroded pins?). I am willing to try, than clean the pins with alcohol and finally use the contact enhancer that came along with my Audience Au24 cables. Is this a good procedure? Any better solution?
Thank you very much for helping,
