I've been in Florida 39 years and learned the hard way about the toll it took on the contacts on all my electronic devices from gigging outdoors.

"Pay me now or pay me later!" Many of times after doing an outdoor gig in humid climate conditions the contacts on my mixer would accumulate oxidization and I would have to apply contact cleaner to the inputs and outputs just to get through a gig.

Usually, the next gig after playing the outdoor gig, my mixer would suffer intermittent outages from the electronics connections becoming oxidized.

It is not worth whatever I was getting paid for the outdoor gig to have to endure the toll it took on all my electronic equipment.
