I personaly wouldn't unless you're having problems. Clean things well and see if you need it first. Dielectric grease doesn't help make a better connection, just lubricates. A little bit goes a long way. |

You are better just cleaning the tormat with a pencil rubber (eraser) and then wipe off with a lint free cloth. The contacts are cleaned without damage to the surface. Yes you do need oil on the right parts on Seeburgs but in the mid 70's I had to change loads of the wheels on the mechanisms that had flats on them through oil on the beds.

I think it is always a good idea to put the grease on as a preventative measure. It will reduce the risk of corrosion and improve the metal to metal contact (lower resistance) although that won't matter much unless there is a bit of current flowing... I am very pleased with the results of using Dow Corning #4 Electrical grease and recommend it for protecting connectors. Do not put it on moving electrical parts - I do not think it would help for those, too thick for easy motion. It is not a lubricant as fas as I know.
