Whenever I have an IC socket problem, I replace the socket with a new

Hi
Let me see, that is 384 machine pin sockets in 2102's alone.
Do you have a special discount that you might share?
I use machine pin sockets in any new applications that require
sockets but solder components when I can't justify a socket.
Still, I have found that my magic grease works in
almost 100% of the cases that I've come across. The
only time it didn't work was when the socket was actually
broken internally.
Wipe a little on the pins and stick it back into the
socket. No soldering, no fuss but a little mess.
