I remember several years ago when they banned freon in contact cleaner and such we got some contact cleaner from Chemtronics and the plastic shafts of some of the controls in a Panasonic tv from the late 70s broke right off where they bonded inside the contols.Wonder if sprays from other companies caused damage like this when everybody had to change their formulation.I've never tried DEOXit.We get contact cleaner from a company called Blow Off and it seems to be ok.It's alcohol based spray and you want it to be pretty dry on any contacts that might spark.I once had some on a paper towell and it just barely brushed my iron when I laid the paper towell on the bench and "poof".Knocked it in the floor and stomped it out.But it's never damaged a control.Have to follow with the lubricant spray from them usually to keep the control smoothly operating.
