Homemade Contact cleaner? (deox-it)

Is there any DIY solutions for contact cleaner?

 

I'm not trying to be a troll but why would you even want to try? The cost of the ingredients - at least anything that would do a decent job - would be hardly less than the cost of the real stuff and probably would cost even more given a tiny bottle of deoxit virtually lasts for life. When I can go into an electronics store and buy a small tube of Deoxit for the cost of a sandwich I just don't comprehend that there could even exist a worthwhile DIY or poor person's alternative. A bottle of isopropyl alcohol, for instance would cost me more than a small tube of Deoxit which would still be big enough to do my hifi, audio visual and computer systems for years.

 

Depends on how you use it and how much electronics work you do. I seem to go through about three large cans a year.

 

I mainly need it for a speed adjustment screw that isn't working on my turntable. Hopefully it will help.

 

The DIY solution for DeOxit is to trot on down to the Rat Shack and buy a can. I am incredibly cheap, but I always have a can on hand. And don't forget to get a can of compressed air while you're at it. Considering the nature of and the age of your Pioneer PL 450, I have good reason to suspect that DeOxit isn't about to fix what's wrong here.

 

Agreed.
