I'm having a bit of a disaster tonight. I replaced the suspect resistor. That was easy. I then decided to use deoxit d5 to clean the contacts for good measure. I didn't spray a lot but I can see some residual film in the chassis. Now the radio will not power up at all. I noticed some of the cleaner worked it's way into the tube sockets. I took the tubes off and I am hoping this stuff will dry out. On the positive side my bandswitch operates great! My suspicion is that the cleaner will not dry out on it's own. Could I have damaged something doing this?
