[TheForge] Buzz Box Blues

[Dan Brewer]

I had a similar problem.  I used some grease called no ox 2.  It is a non
conductive grease that is not an insulator.  A little on all of the contacts
including the power switch. It made all the difference in the world.  Clean
the contacts with carb cleaner and then replace the grease.
