DeoxIT D5S-6 spray - seems to be the "red stuff"; there is also "Gold" (G5) and F5 - "Green stuff".

So, which one? Green?

Actually, only Gold and Red have the word "contact" in their names.

I think "F5" (green) is the one, as it is for "Conductive Plastics".


Yes, that is the safest one to use, especially on old Philcos. If you are SURE that it is a wire wound you can use the gold #5.
