Silly as it may seem... If you're talking about the 1/4" jacks, I
occasionally use one of those rifle cleaning brushes with a bit of WD-40
followed by a pass with one of those little pieces of cotton cloth. I think
they call the cloth a "patch" and the rod that holds the piece of cotton
cloth a "patch loop", which makes the synth programmer in me grin... (Make
sure to use a patch loop and not a jag, otherwise it'll be hard to get the
cloth back out!)
I don't know what jacks the Mackie uses, but for really bad problems, I've
been known to open up the cover and use an auto ignition point file on
certain things... :-)

Hey Gene,
What about a burnishing brush or injectors for TTL patchbays?
What's the proven method. Mine are 5 years old and starting to talk =
back.
I found this. Is it good?
http://www.globalvideoconf.com/Page_219.pdf
Should I use Deoxit and the brush and be done with it?
Thanks,
Tom

OK then, off to the gun shop... (Needed ammo anyway -- can never have
too much on hand, right?)
Seriously, sounds like a good approach -- thanks -- chas.
