WARNING!

207.167.224.129

Be VERY careful using CAIG products on tube pins, particularly 9 pin minis or any tube where the glass meets the pins directly. CAIG products can cause the pins to slightly shrink, due to removal of a very microscopic layer of metal, and will penetrate the seal at the pins, if you clean the tube pins and then put the tubes aside for future use, you will sometimes find that the seal has been penetrated, perhaps even to the extent of causing a crack in the glass...the getter has turned to white powder...vacuum gone, even from a microscopic leak...tube dead but pins really clean, very bad day.
