Hey I never thought to clean them thanks! hehe My Control one has had many beers spilled on it from drunken bar nuts trying to sing. It's annoying but comes with the territory, making a living entertaining drunks! ;-) Surprisingly the board hasn't totally conked out yet after almost 10 years of constant abuse! I have replaced some switches in the past (resoldering new ones) but I didn't even consider using a contact cleaner! Duh I've been using the board with about 4 peds not working properly for the last few years! Been too lazy to replace them! LOL After reading this post I pulled off all the plastic peds & gave the switches a good squirt. I didn't take the switch apart just squirted the cleaner into them. Works like a charm now! Thanks!
