Here's a good example of a set of dry joints on a connector. Note that some only look like cracks.

@stephen_usher That is an excellent example. One of the reasons I bought a microscope too.

That picture was taken using an iPhone XS with 2x zoom enabled. I find that quite good as a pseudo microscope, at least at this scale.

Yes, that is excellent quality for a phone.

I heard a good cure for dry joints is cod liver oil or omega 3 capsules.
