for conduction.
White was next & it had another name I will let you guess
Pink next.
Blue was said to be best for heat conduction.
Once at a NAP seminar IIRC the C3 POS chassis was blowing vert IC's.
After mods they gave us a Zenith part # for a transistor & told us
"throw away the transistor & use the blue compound on the IC."
When asked why NAP didnt include it we were met with silence......
You will find blue or pink compound in many Zenith 800-### kits.
