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 wtm@impulse.UUCP or wtm@neoucom.UUCP

You may wish to try its manufacturer, Caig Laboratories, 1175-O Industrial Avenue, Escondido, CA 92025, telephone 619/743-7143. > 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. The only thing I remember is that blue Cramolin is only used following treatment with red Cramolin. Sorta reminds me of the joke about red elephant guns and blue elephant guns. :-) <> Larry Lippman @ Recognition Research Corp. - Uniquex Corp. - Viatran Corp. <> UUCP {allegra|boulder|decvax|rutgers|watmath}!sunybcs!kitty!larry <> TEL 716/688-1231 | 716/773-1700 {hplabs|utzoo|uunet}!/ \uniquex!larry <> FAX 716/741-9635 | 716/773-2488 "Have you hugged your cat today?"
