A new RP25 in the family

[Nebogipfel]

Well I would say the best way to use Servisol is sparingly on paxolin switch wafers particularly if switching HT or worse mains. Even if the the switching is low voltage I still would only use a little. Some advocate spraying into a lid top and applying with just the tube by dabbing. Work the switch back and forth of course. And do check visually if you can (dentists mirror helps) that there are no bent or lose contacts

Servisol will give an immediate improvement but on some sets it may not last. The best for this, that I have found and no connection, is De Oxit sold by the BVWS. Expensive but it goes a long way.

Thanks for the input Gary. I was thinking specifically of the volume pot and the wavechange switches on the Sovereign so no danger of mains or HT. I asked the question because I have read references to Servisol in this context many times but the posts invariably assume that the person being advised is aware of how to use it properly. On this radio the volume pot is quite noisy and the wavechange is quite crackly and a bit hit and miss.

It's a nice old set, my second Hacker and my first goer and I'd like to make things better rather than worse
