What kind of temperature range is TWEEK good for?
I recently moved my vintage 1958 H.H. Scott model 299 amplifier from
New Jersey to North Carolina in my car, and wound up with a bad hum in
one channel.  It persisted until I thought to reseat some of the tubes.

Would Tweek or a similar contact-enhancer work on the tube pins and sockets,
or would the high temperature be a problem?
