CAIG PRODUCTS REVIEW DeoxIT BY JIM BAUDO |
|
|
USUALLY I PREPARE FOR A PRODUCT REVIEW, BUT! I HAD BEEN POUNDING AWAY ON THE COMPUTER AND IT WAS GETTING CLOSE TO NOON TIME SO I THOUGHT I WOULD TAKE A LUNCH BREAK AND FIX A HAMBURGER. I RETURNED TO THE KITCHEN TO SEE HOW THE BURGERS WERE COOKING ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT BURNER WAS JUST WARM. REMEMBERING WHAT I HAD READ IN THE CAIG PRODUCT SHEETS, I HAD NOTHING TO LOOSE. 3/14/2002 SO HERE GOES! |
|
 |
 |
| BEFORE DeoxIT | AFTER DeoxIT |
| THIS IS A 33 YEAR OLD RANGE TOP BURNER THAT HAD BEEN WORKING ONLY AT ABOUT 60 TO 70 % CAPACITY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. | |
|
|
THIS RANGE TOP WAS INSTALLED IN JUNE 1969. THE BURNERS ARE ALL ORIGINAL. I REMOVED THE TEMP CONTROL KNOB AND SHOT A SMALL BLAST OF DeoxIT INTO THE TOP END OF THE CONTROL SWITCH AREA, I LET IT SET 30 SECONDS, AND THEN ROTATED IT 3 TIME TO THE RIGHT AND THEN BACK 3 TIMES. PRESTO! SEEING IS BELIEVING |
|
I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW RED HOT THE BURNER WAS. |
|
|
|
|
| CONCLUSION THE DeoxIT, FOR SUCH A SMALL PURCHASE INVESTMENT SAVED ME THE PRICE OF A SERVICE CALL AND A EXPENSIVE RANGE CONTROL PART. | |
|
|
|
|
DeoxIT IS SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT THAT IT SHOULD BE USED ON A REGULAR BASIS TO MAINTAIN PRODUCTS, AND EXTEND THEIR AVERAGE WORKING LIFE. |
|
| UPDATE 11/21/2002 | |
 |
|
|
THE PHOTOS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE WERE TAKEN 3/14/2002, THIS IS TODAY 11/21/02 8 MONTHS LATER. AS YOU CAN SEE THE DeoxIT IS STILL WORKING AND MAINTAINING A HEAT SURFACE OF RED HOT HEAT. THANK YOU AGAIN CAIG FOR SUCH A GREAT FAMILY OF PRODUCTS THAT JUST MAKE OTHER PRODUCTS PERFORM BETTER! |
