Electronics cleaner


I have a toggle switch that just crapped out on me in my Audio Research SP11 pre amp. It's the "normal/ bypass" switch. It works on normal but sounds faint and fuzzy on bypass (which is where I like to keep it set). Should I try to clean it before I send it in to AR. Any suggestions which cleaner might work. I have a can of Caig DeoxIt and a can of CRC cleaner here. Is one better than the other, or could there be something else going on? I know I can call AR but I think I know what there answer might be.

Since we are now discussing contact cleaners CRC is the way to go. CRC electrical contact cleaner is alcohol based, leaves no residue and it is safe for plastics.

Caig products leave a residue that can turn to a thick gunk over time.
