I have some crackly toggle switches that need to be sorted out.  I figure removal and try to clean with deoxit or similar, any ideas?

The tuning and volume knobs require an allen key for removal, anyone know the size please?  I have tried many :S

Thanks, Ben

Thanks for your help - Deliverance : the hex turned out to be 1.5 and the faceplate is now off.  Any tips for switch cleaning?

Can't remember any modern gear that you can actually take the switches apart!

What a difference this has made

 

Thanks for your suggestion
