Hi everyone,
This is on my 46-480. I also have to wiggle tubes to get them to work. My pins are very clean but I don't believe I'm getting the sockets clean enough. All associated components, caps etc. are good. I've tried pipe cleaners with contact spray cleaner and this doesn't appear to be aggressive enough. I tried acetylene torch tip cleaners which work well but are a bit too agressive. What are the rest of you doing for adequete cleaning of these Loctal tube socket contacts?
Thanks much,
Johnny
