I have been cleaning a PDP-8/e front panel and some of the switches
are not as free as others. The switches are simple slider basic
switches. I have taken similar switches apart and noticed that there
is a brown/red grease on the contacts.
Any suggestions on the proper grease for a low voltage contact.

I'd use the same thing that I use on automotive contacts--what's
referred to as "dielectric grease". Available in the auto section of
almost any big-box store. Comes in a tube, is colorless and a bit
translucent.
