They can be fixed w/thorough cleaning[soaking] in diluted windex or 409[diluted]
Rinse in degreaser [test it first] and sun-dry.
If you want to go further,construct a ultrasonic bath with audio sig gen and 
tweeter or quartz transducer if you can find one.
Now I've just done this and KB is OK,I need a source of conductive paint [that 
remotes use-the thin-film depo stuff] to repair the ribbon conductor end where 
coke has eaten it off. Haven't used this stuff for years.TIA
