Hey Dynomite---Looks like you might want to edit your excellent summary of what I had written for Scott and Franke's comment about sandpaper. I think Scott is right about using a pencil eraser rather than fine wet/dry paper on the circuit board where the A/C buttons push against the board. On other electrical contacts (think old car ignitions or Lionel trains) I have used very fine wet/drywihtout incident as well as an ignition file but I think Franke is right that if you can access the contacts you are cleaning with a fine metal file that is probably best. But as I noted the fixed contacts in the widow switch are recessed and hard to get at with a file. At least with the ignition file I have. --Bob
