Default sometimes things work out okay...

The 'way in' to sealed square shafted selector switches is often, as
you have discovered, the gap around the shaft. Decent switch cleaner

squirt
up the shaft gap, will, in most cases, find its way into the switch
body, and do a decent job of restoring contact.

I've been using an attachment for guitar pots that screws atop the
pot and allows the cleaner to squrt down the shaft. Saves a lot of
time in some cases and can be used on anything with a similar pot.


That's interesting and very useful sounding. Where'd you get it ? Any
ref with a piccy ?

Grab a neoprene cable sleeve and cut the narrow end to suit !
