I've been using Craig Laboratory cleaners for 30 years. Every connector I mate is first cleaned with their RED contact cleaner formula, then lubed with their Blue contact preservative formula (or vice versa). Came with coarse plastic applicators for doing grody RCA connectors. Also used it on ANY (plain or gold) connectors in or on my cameras, computers, and automobiles. Except for forgotten batteries in various household and medical appliances, I never have any connectivity problems.
Betcha Radio Shack still carries it. But no more than 10 cent bets, please.
