Re: suggestions for plasma globe that is slow to turn on?

Well, since I took Liz's suggestion basically about cleaning the glass,
the device has turned on immediately ever since.  Of course, to test the
electrolytics, I also had to disassemble it.

The plasma globe is a quick disconnect to the unit base, which contains
the flyback supply.  Contacts are either steel or aluminum.  I was
thinking of adding a thin layer of dielectric grease (from the auto
store used for spark plugs) to the contacts.  Recommended or not?
