DMM banana jack inputs

I've got a Fluke 189 DMM. The banana jack inputs are getting flaky.
With the probes or input pushed up or down they sometimes loose continuity.
I opened it up and looked at the solder joints... they look fine.
The banana jacks are encased in plastic so it's hard to see exactly.
I tried squeezing them in some, it's maybe a bit better, but no one
wants even a bit of flaky in their test gear. Any ideas? (about how I might
fix it.)

You might drop $17 for a set of ProbeMaster 8000 series leads
http://probemaster.com/8000-series-test-leads-only/
All gold-plated, soft silicone leads, lots of accessories available.
Gorgeous.
Even if it turns out to be the meter that's broken, you'll be glad to
have the leads for the next one!
