Hello all, I have my volume/on-off switch apart; part # 33-5024. I had to clean the on/off switch which wasn't working. It is now, with some contact cleaner. What would be the best to use on the carbon volume portion of the switch? Contact cleaner, alcohol, acetone? I heard some chemicals ruin the carbon resistor wafer. Please let me know, thanks!!

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
