Truth be told, I tend to use it on all atties, except for when I first get them and want to do the 'silkwood' cleansing of machine oils and such.
This thread makes some great points I've never thought about. I kind of enjoy taking care of my things.
That being said where are some resources on doing some of this maintenance suggested?

Hi Papa,
Are you soaking the rba in a liquid denture cleaner or cleaning with toothbrush from a paste? TIA

It's just a reference to a movie of the same name. The lead character worked at a nuclear facility and after an accident had to get a brutal hosing down.
When I get a new atty, I boil it in water and dish soap, rinse, soak it in PGA, and then rinse again.
I use the effervescent type just like you would with actual dentures. I also use a toothbrush to loosen any gunk that might have baked on.
No problem.
Note that prepping the atty is key. Take all the pieces apart, take out the post screws (clean them, too), and I try to remove the o-rings (moot point with a RM2) as I've had them sometimes react badly (mostly swell).
What if there is some minor evidence of arcing on the positive pin? I ran one of my Mini LPs with SO contacts for at least 6 months with practically no maintenance as performance was always stellar. Just checked my new Grand and there is some gold plating missing from the positive pin. Planning on ordering some Deoxit here soon.
