As others have said it's mostly for video game equipment, but it's worth a look for any older gear you pick up that could have been owned in coastal or humid environments where various innards even the transport might have contracted rust.

This really isn't for rust, and if you know how contacts etc are made they don't rust they have oxidation rather than rust. Anyway I use it on amps and guitars too, made for that stuff first then it would have also been used on VGs too.

This is really too much for me to explain on how and what devices are made of. Pots, chip board pins, all internal electronic parts are not made of steel or iron and the deoxit will clean them. Even silver does oxidize but its not rust per se its a chemical reaction of sulfur in the air that forms black on the silver. Does this eat away, sort of if left long enough but it won't allow the two surfaces of the metal to make contact with one another. Copper has the same issue, even aluminium. Gold is the only one that doesn't oxidize this is why higher end cables have that.
