In Reply to: RE: How do cartridge clips get filthy? posted by Bronica S2A on March 28, 2017 at 10:38:31
I don't have any problems with cartridge clips. Of course, I always use Caig DeoxIT Gold on all connections and I've never had any electrical problems from cartridges, even those with removable headshells. Again, I always use Caig DeoxIT Gold on the contact pins each time I reconnect a removable headshell. All my cartridge clips and pin contacts are gold plated and they always look clean to me. I just don't have problems but I'm meticulous in applying Caig DeoxIT Gold to all connections each time I reconnect anything. That stuff is a lifesaver!
Follow Ups:
in 50 years of playing records don't think i have ever cleaned a cartridge clip. Now i will have to go home and look at them. Not sure i will clean as the music always sounds great. I have cleaned the old resistance pots for volume, etc with deoxit, but never a clip, spade, rca, etc.

Did you read that my cart has been connected continuously for 3 years? Have you EVER had a cart connected continuously for 3 years without any cleaning/spraying whatsoever? Somehow I doubt it. Do you think cart connections are airtight and allow zero dust/dirt to enter and accumulate over a 3 year period?
Actually, I did read your post, but I will make it a point next time to respond before ever reading another one of your posts.
Thanks for the suggestion! ;-)
