cleaning up my SB-301

[David A. Jaffe]

I thought I'd try and revive my old SB-301 as a second receiver for use with
the RS-13 satellite and such.

I notice that the band-switch is so dirty that it doen't make contact on any
band except 20 meters, and that one only if I wiggle the knob!  Any tips on
how to clean it?  (I haven't tried anything yet.  I suppose the first thing
I'll do is blow air, just in case it's just dust, but I wouldn't be surprised
if it needs more help than that.)

Thanks

P.S. Re. my SB-200:  After the rehab by RTO, and after blowing the grid
resistors twice, it's been working great for months as the linear for my Icom
746.  Not bad for a 32 year old piece of equipment assembled by a
13-year-old!  I only wish it had full QSK.
