This is a good question. I have some original Telefunken smooth and ribbed plate 12AX7s that have tarnished pins. Does it help to remove that tarnish or just leave it alone? I have magic eraser and ProGold Deoxit.

@stevecham that's primarily why I asked - I too have fairly recently fitted NOS Telefunken tubes. I cleaned the slightly tarnished pins as good as I could (one tip I read was to use a very sharp craft nice & gently scrape the pins to expose a clean surface) wipe with a lint free cloth but not apply DeoxIT. |
I use DeoxIT D50L for tube pins. Here is the kit that I use and works great:https://www.musicdirect.com/tubes/caig-vacuum-tube-survival-kit |
