Good call. And another approach is.......

....... is to pick up some of those really great little stiff nylon bristle brushes from Mike Percy. They're called "Socket Savers" and the larger-sized one does a very fine job of scrubbing clean the RCA female's center pin hole (gently, but effectively.) You can find them halfway from the bottom of page 17 of the most recent Percy catalog, for US$12.95. I use them all the time.

However, you can find these same type nylon bristle-type cleaners at pipe and tobacconist stores probably much cheaper, and those soft pipe cleaners that R Browne speaks of as well.

As for the Signet-style RCA jack cleaners mentioned in the OP, well, I never felt they worked nearly as well as the nylon bristle brushes, Q-tips and soft pipe cleaners, but maybe others feel differently. YMMV, and all that.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

WS
