Caig makes a product called MCL for moving control lubricant. It cleans and lubricates. I\u2019ve been using it on controls and switches the past couple of years and it works great.

Oh, I am nearly sure, that the contacts make the mechanical trouble. The
switches had been
moved not so often last 20 years....
In my prodigy-switches i used a very fine oil - that worked good, i had to use
them carefully
30-50 times and the problem was gone. But the mini is 6 time more expensive -
so i have to
be 6 times more careful ;-)
I´ll test it with the noise-switch - this is the less-used....in worst
case i will get a mixture of
pink and white noise....hoho.
Thanks for your tips!!!
