    Chord has a good reputation, so the probability of this being foo is smaller than is very often the case.

    Not bad for a bottle of contact cleaner.

    Looks like Chord re-branded it, included some 'science' spiel, and added a couple of noughts...

    It may be good- but what a ridiculous price. I hate this kind of nonsense with a passion.

    Apparently these fluids only work well if both contact metals are identical in chemical composition. ie pure silver and pure silver.

    If there is a mismatch then chemical reactions can occur. I have read of black gunge at the interface after a period of time.

    This applies equally to a mismatch in the quality of (say gold) plating.

    Ah - but is it the original snake oil? Maybe it has provenance!
