I'm not totally adverse to simply replacing them --- assuming I could
find an exact match.
Back in the day, we'd just rinse them in freon TF or carbon tet Good
luck in finding any...
You can have some of mine. No please, take all of it.
I have two of those old brass hand-pump-style fire extinguishers still filled
with the stuff.
For the seized switches, sometimes simply alcohol will free up switches in that
situation. Another possibility would be contact cleaner, types with or without
oil in it.
