RCA cleaners

Hi,

There used to be plastic RCA cleaners--you'd put cleaning solution on them and they'd fit onto the RCA connectors on the equipment. They were white (I remember this because after cleaning, they'd come out black with dirt). The company that made them went out of business in the 1990s. Does anyone make anything like this now? There was nothing better (that I knew of) for getting into the RCA jacks on equipment.

Thanks!

Matt

For any who care, the old package of cleaning tools from Signet were marked "Made in Japan."

FatWyre confirms the ones they have in stock are made in Canada. Nothing against Canada, but obviously not the original. I'll pass on this opportunity to do the test.

Damn, you got my hopes up. Those little Signet tools were just the ticket. Albert, some time ago you recommended a brush. Are they still available?

I ordered some anyway; I'll let you know whether they're what they used to be.

Matt, please do!

If the Canadian version is the same I will go for several packages. I have enough of the original Japan version that I did not want to buy and return to FatWyre if disappointed. Do you have any originals to compare with?

Unsound, a brush? My mind has gone blank, please remind me what the topic was or what the brush was for.

Unsound/Albert - perhaps this is the brush:

Also, here's a thread from last year that has some opinion on RCA cleaning:

I also ordered some of the cleaners from Fatwyre, and anxiously waiting for them to arrive . . .
