Chad --

I smoke, and although it has never bothered my computers the smoke bugs the
shit out of my audio gear. Every couple of months I take my main amp and
mixer apart and spray a lot of plain old tuner cleaner into the switches
and pots. Then I pull *all* the plugs and spray tuner cleaner all over
them and into *all* the jacks. Then I wiggle everything around a lot and
the problems go away -- for a couple of months. BTW I probably don't need
to tell you this but make sure the fluid has evaporated before powering
anything up.
