Back in some previous lifetime when I used to try to fix things electronic,
TVs had tuners with mechanical rotating turrets.  Tuner cleaner spray was
used to clean the contacts.  The spray cans often came with long flexible
tubes.  I still have one of those tubes, about 30" long, and it is very
useful to get the PB or Tri-Flow, etc. just where I want it.
