I had a McIntosh MX110 in for a cap job and the owner had used caig on all the tube sockets. The problem was that it had migrated everywhere! I mean the whole top panel of the unit had rings around the tube sockets from the residue. I don't think it was over applied. Erm, maybe a little.
Anyway stuff like that usually is a boon to the repair guys 10, 20, 30 years down the line as it changes its chemistry as dirt and dust start to accumulate on it and it start to form new elements. Sometimes conductive sometimes non conductive. I am being facetious but just remember back in the day when tubes were everywhere, no one was using contact treatments like that for energized contacts.
