Clean the switches with Radio Shack tuner cleaner.


No.Use 99% isopropyl alcohol.


You know, it's funny how often these debates flare up over a subject as
mundane as contact cleaner. "My tuner cleaner is better than your tuner
cleaner. Your tuner cleaner should be used only in Ukrainian opposition
candidates' minestrone. My tuner cleaner costs more than HP printer
ink. If you spray your tuner cleaner on a Tektronix 465, it will
trigger a resonance cascade and gate in alien overlords from the planet
Xen." Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Despite all the gurus out there forking the evil eye at WD-40, I sure
seem to own a lot of stuff that still works fine after being sprayed
with WD-40 over the years (decades, in some cases). Yeah, I know.
"Data: n, plural of 'anecdote'."

Some of these gurus are admittedly respected veterans of companies such
as Tektronix, with whom mere mortals are loath to argue. All I can say
is, those switches must not have been of the greatest quality in the
first place, or the gurus wouldn't have to spend so much of their time
on Usenet warning people against hosing them down with WD-40.

Just sayin', is all. No disrespect intended.
