I have a twin reverb with silver face vintage about 1967 that has really scratchy switches.
Can they be cleaned?

+1 on above.

I use this :

Normal shelf life is about 2 years, so unless you'll use a lot, go small :

Works like a charm! :wink:

Just a word about the Deoxit. It doesn't take much to clean the pots, switches, and jacks. The Deoxit 5 cleaning should be followed by a lube-preserver like Deoxit Gold or Shield. I've been using these Caig products for amp maintenance for 20yrs, if used correctly they're great. Too much D-5 can wash the lube right out of a pot causing siezure down the road. ART
