Just me but part of the "charm" of a Moog is the vintage aspect. Unless there were issues with corrosion or flakey contact on a plug/jack. then I'd leave the jacks alone. It inspires me to think of the sounds as "original" and the faded look helps the muse. :mrgreen:

OK I found connectors


Now a question !

my sockets on MOOG are DIRTY!!

I tried few things but Im thinking only good way to clean it is to remove sockets from modules and clean them in ULTRASONIC cleaner!

anybody did that in past?? /// my moog sockets are very dirty inside!

:tu: Nice Moog, have you tried working the sockets by just putting a 1/4" plug in & out of the socket numerous times ? or spraying a light amount of contact cleaner on the plug and working it in & out of (power off) the socket. Is it dirt/dust inside or is it rust ?

Q-tips and electrical cleaner. Even rubbing alcohol will work.

Model railroad guys use them too, try calling a train hobby shop.

For the oxidation, I would get some high-quality electrical cleaner (whatever 'blue shower' is called now) and chem wipes.

You got me thinking about some magic juice I used to use for iffy contacts in analog video gear. Often made a difference. It was Cramolin Red and a quick search tells me it'sno longer made. More...

Great setup, but PLEASE...

DON'T use a burnishing tool. It's just an abrasive and will make things worse quite quickly.

For cleaning keyboard rails to switches to jacks and other sockets and connectors, I strongly reccommend "DeOxit" products from Caig Labs. A small pair of cans may be gotten at Radio Shack, or likely ordered from your local electronics dealer. Deoxit D5 is the one. A little goes a long way. Spray it, work the contacs a few times, and its almost better than new. I don't know how or why the stuff works so well, but it does!

If you are in Europe i think one option would be to clean the contacts with, Kontakt Chemie - Kontakt 60, made by CRC. One can of that stuff has lasted years for me and i think it works great.

I've used a Dremel tool with a wire brush tip to burnish the insides of sockets and clean the parts that contact the tip and ring. Not sure this would work on switching contacts. I'll have to try the Deoxit.

bought fine silicon burnishing parts for Dremel tool ///

tried with :

teslanol - electro clean
teslanol T6 oszilin
Kontakt 60 spray
alcohol - all kinds
..... non worked good :(

than tonight I tried industrial aceton ... BUT with just a touch it clean a big part of dirt :) and after that i do it just with a touch od burnishing with ultra fine silicon rubber for dremel tool and clean all with alcohol !!!!

WORKS GREAT!!!!

-------------------------

so far cleaned like 6 modules.... PAIN ARE ROTARRY SWITCHED... But managed to clean em too :nana: :nana: :nana: :nana:

now one question for MOOG gurus///
