Switches on Technics Amp. don't appear accessible for cleaning. Suggestions?

[bobspets]

I was hoping to clean the switches on my Technics Amp., but some don't appear accessible, they appear sealed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

post model # or photo of the switch in question so people can better assist you with this, some of these switches have "tricks" to them to clean them easier.

Model is SU-V2 I'd like to post photos, but I have no working camera at the moment.

Any help?

When you say sealed do you mean from the outside after you remove the knob? Some pots can only be accessed from the inside. Some pots even on the inside only have small holes into which DeOxit can be sprayed.

I appreciate the reply
Yeah, from the inside of the unit looks like the round bodied switches have a clear covering over them. Seems odd, but that's what they look like.

Do a Google search for the model number, then click the Image tab, there are quite a few pics of it with the cover removed.

Then just downloaded the image and repost it here. I'm not sure which one matches you're or I would do it for you. If you can download the image, let me know which one and I'll do it for you.

Will do. What turntable do you have in your image?

I did a google image search and found images of the exterior, but not the interior

 

[truckrglenn]

No interior pics of yours? Or no interior pics at all?

Just want to clarify.

Just curious:
I am assuming they need cleaning; or you doing it just because?

Thanks for the replies. I just did a second search for interior images of unit and still found none showing the switches.
As to my purpose for cleaning that stemmed from this AK thread http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/in...urntable-cartridge-issue.687326/#post-9179040
