I miss the Vita-Drive rubber cleaner. Was the best - really brought back rubber drives - phono; vcr, etc. Have tried others - none quite as good Also like Blue Stuff for controls. Has a little 'cleaning compound' that continually cleans the contacts. They stopped making it for a while but I think it is back. BTW, I pulled the switch, took the power section apart. No cleaner in the world would have done anythig for this one - had to grind down contacts to get to a decent surface - all pitted. Roger G.
