** Obviously YOU lack the necessary Midas touch !!!!!

Maybe just a little WD40 down the shaft will do the trick - not a whole
flood of it mind you.

Don't want that precious console to wind up looking like Venice.....

WD-40 (fish oil as main ingredient or used to be) dries out.


** WD40 residue is ordinary light oil - whether it evaporates depends on
ambient temperature and local air flow.

At room temp and with no virtually no air flow, that takes years.


Spraying the contacts for suspected electrical issues, only
temporarily fixes, and normally makes it worse afterwards.


** The idea is to clean the surfaces and flush away contaminants.

Nothing to do with mysterious "electrical issues ".


Since most chemicals tend to deteriorate the contact surfaces

** Light mineral oil is not a corrosive "chemical" - you fool.

and allows for pitted areas that no longer receives regular wiping from
the
switch action, erosion sets in.

** A coating of light oil protects the metal surfaces by excluding moisture
and air - you colossally stupid ASS .

Go away.
