I haven't used it, but I looked into the dag material once.

"Aquadag" & "Electrodag" are trademarks of Acheson Industries, which has been bought by Henkel:

Need to deteremine which of the dozens of varieties is correct (or at least acceptable)
With a little googling, you should be able to find people selling small containers of it.

I've also seen home-brew recipies for dag paint, but I can't find the URL right now...

Andy;

        When the DAG springs have lived out their usefulness, I head to
        Home Depot and pick up some generic skinny long metal springs. I
        solder a lead somewhere along the length of the spring and crimp
        on a connector. If they are too short, I just use two together.

I don't have a solution to the flaking issue, that should be
interesting to see how that gets taken care of.....

    hi all..

      I tried to search the archives but didn't come up with any useable
      results, although i'm sure its been discussed before on here..

      I have a couple of vector tubes where the DAG coating is flaking
      off on one side of the tube and really needs re-doing. One of the
      tubes (a 19" amp) has a rotten DAG spring thats been broken
      several times and twisted up to match, and without any flying lead
      to plug into the harness, but its so rusty it will keep breaking
      i'; not sure its worth patching again, does anyone know if there
      is an easy replacement for this ? Atari part number A201002-01 DAG
      SPRING ASSY.

      Also, has anyone found the vinyl shunt assembly 178137-001
      (magnetic shunts for correction) available anywhere?
