Hi,

We have some low-level electrophysiology amplifiers that have
remote preamps.  The trouble is that the connectors from the preamp
to the main unit use connectors that have machined aluminum
threaded bodies.  The problem with the connectors is that the
connectors must be frequently re-mated to quell 60 Hz pick-up.  (By
frequently, I mean one or more times per day.)

I thought I might try putting cramolin contact treatment on the
connector shells to see if that helps.  Unfortuantely, our state
contract electronics vendor doesn't carry cramolin, and in fact
hasn't ever heard of it.

Does anybody know a place to order cramolin?  Also, I've been told
by old-timers that it comes in both red and blue colors.  What, if
anything, is the difference between red and blue.  I've only seen
the red stuff.  Perhaps this posting would have been better off in
the audio-tweakaphile news group??...

Thanks much,
Bill
