MA17 - Q. How do I clean the connections on my MA17 Speaker Switch?

Answer:

The MA17 has “self-cleaning” contacts, which usually means that there is a wiping action as it opens and closes, rather then just a straight open and close so that whether it be made from phosphor bronze or nickel plated beryllium copper, it will tend to remove any sooty deposits or tarnish as it is operated. Even so, after a long period of non-use, it might be necessary to clean such a switch.

We recommend using Servisol Super 10 Contact Cleaner, or you may also find that WD-40 works as it hangs around for longer when the DeOxit types have evaporated.
