cleaning elmas

[salomonander]

hey
i have a whole lot of scratchy elmas in some of my modules. they are series 01 - the standard blue ones. too expensive to replace honestly.
im aware that i can use tuner600 or teslanol t6 and pretty much nothing else. but im wondering where to apply it. when i dissemble the switches from the frontplate i can spray into the stop pin opening.
but dissembling them all would be a major pain the ass. the switches also seem to have small opening on their back. are these for cleaning purposes? anyone know if i can simply spray in there?

cheers

the old men at work are used to drill a small hole to spray it

arghhh that sounds like even more work
do you know if spraying into the stop holes even reaches the switching mechanism?

Try one, you'll soon find out.

so i called up elma today. for anyone interested - one should spray into the stop pins. no need to drill anything. the mechanics are open. bad news is that my switches are gone for good (the gold wore off - after 60 years of use) and i had to spent 300€ on replacement elmas..
the unit sounds so good its worth it though. plus distrelec offered them for half the price - im afraid i bought their entire stock
