Aerodag G or Aquadag E or Sprayon S00204 ?

[abekas67]

Hello everyone,
This is my first post. I read a large number of the posts here and the information is really helpful!

I restoring a 1949 Raytheon model M-1105, C-1104 porthole. I got the TV at this years Early Television convention in Ohio. So far I'm replacing all the paper, wax and electrolytic capacitors and I also decided to replace all the resistors because almost all of them are a least 25%+ high now due to heat and age. Some of the resistors are 400% over spec.

Over half of the conductive coating on the 12LP4 CRT has flaked off. I understand this is important to maintain a solid ground to the CRT.

Initially I tried to find Aquadag in a spray can but was unsuccessful. So I saw advice to use a spray on Graphite Lube in it's place. I have not done this yet and am having second thoughts. The can of Dry Graphite Lube is "Sprayon S00204"

So should I use this Sprayon stuff or do you guys have a better idea?

I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future - so far I am really enjoying the restoration.

Thank you!
Stuart
