    Thanks very much, Ed.

I'll probably order some when I get the chance here, just to have some on

Tom, from whaat I hear from the Ten-Tec reflector, the best contact cleaner
is ,  eoxit  it comes in spray cans and not sure what else.  I am not sure
but I have heard that it is the only one that Ten-Tec will use.  The web
site is  www.caig.com  I have used it on pots and it works great.  good
luck.  73
