I'm pleased to see my post start up a discussion about various methods for keeping track clean. I hadn't thought of the electrically conductive lubricant and I thank you for drawing it to our attention. I realize now that I should have thought of it the other day. When I was young, my dad repaired TVs. In those days the tuners were manual and consisted one set of contacts that made an electrical connection with another set. Each strip was designed to tune in one channel. Over time, they got oxidized and dirty and you'd have to fiddle with the knob to get the channel to lock in. The fix was a can of tuner cleaner. You'd spray it on the contacts as you turned the dial and it would clean everything up for quite a while. Sounds like the same sort of thing as that conductive lubricant. It was also interesting to read Kato's comments on not using any abrasives.
