Alas, Cramolin gold isn't being made anymore. The company that made
the stuff is Caig Labs and they're still around making contact cleaners,
conditioners, etc. I know that at least Fry's carries their more popular
items on their shelves if you have one nearby. Otherwise go to the website
for Caig Labs directly and order any of their many products.

Price is still high but you can order in "consumer" quantities.
