Deoxit vs other contact cleaners
#3

At work I used Deoxit Gold a lot for all the gold contacts and edge connectors.  I used the 100% liquid G-100L for contacts I could reach and wipe off the excess and the Gold G5 5% spray for areas I couldn't.  It was expensive but overall I felt the products were well worth the premium in price for their performance.  

You need to do a little research on which product is best for what your use will be.  For old radios I think the D series and Fader F series should do the trick.  While I have a can of the D spray I'm still using up some conventional sprays and haven't made a valid comparison yet.

One last thought is to do some price shopping once you decide what you want to buy.  Sometimes Amazon is cheaper, sometimes eBay is cheaper, and I think the last time I found a music or guitar store on the Internet to be the best price.
