These ones. Had it for a long time. The bottles last forever.

This is what I use instead of deoxit:

No fuss no muss - just a quick scraping with the thin blade on each tube pin until they are shiny.
Victorinox or Wenger - whatever I find first in my drawer.
This is based on a scientific paper from the 40's that I read a long time ago comparing different ways of cleaning tube pins. The conclusion was that metal to metal cleaning and contact worked the best. Unfortunately I lost the reference - maybe someone knows about it.

G-807 Ulyanovsk in action. Pair cost just below US$20 including postage. Despite the cheap price, it sounds really good with 6S3P as drivers. As with the Philips 807 russian pair, these sound brighter and more neutral with the added benefit of absolute clarity, fast attack to musical notes without sounding sibilant and no fatigue.

Cheap and looking great. A winning recipe for sure.

Different purpose Mordy. You use knife or sand paper if the pins are rusted or corroded. After you've done that then sealed with DeOxit.

For new tubes with clean pins, I just lightly coat with the gold deoxit.

From my perspective any kind of sealant would interfere with metal to metal contact.
