    Thanks for the read. I thought this was odd concerning outlets:

    "Our recommendation is the Hubble
    hospital-grade outlets with solid unplated brass
    pins. Cryogenically treating also gives a further
    improvement and is recommended."

    Does this mean sticking the outlet in the freezer for a while?
