[Milsurplus] Toggle Switch Rehab

[Robert Flory]

Hi, 

I just added another kink( or is it a hint? ) to my Hints and Kinks page of
my web site.

"The toggle switches often used for power and function switches are of the
type with a body made of laminated phenolic(or some similar insulating
material) and are not able to be opened up for cleaning.  I have had a high
success rate with putting the radio on its back so that the front panel and
switches face upwards, and spraying contact cleaner into the switch where
the toggle goes into the body.  With a little exercise, this seems to get
enough cleaner down into the switch to do the job."
