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?

The servisol worked a treat - see the before and after photo's attached - Before 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
