Adcom GFP-555 II


I have had this pre-amp for maybe 30 years paired with two GFA-555s the input/listening switch has static into the left channel intermittently and needs to be wiggled back and forth to eliminate the static. Is this easy to replace? Need soldering to replace? Does anyone know of a good repair shop in the Phoenix area?

I have from the outside pulling the knob and felt but still there. Do I need to go internal to do this on a gfp 555 II?

I appreciate all the input from everyone and will take the time to go internally with some tuner spray to see if this remedies the intermittent static at the listening selector switch. Tech3149 your saying the cleaning may be needed at the rear of the circuit board not directly into the manual selector switch behind the faceplate? I guess I will understand better what saying after I go inside.

Thanks any desired pre amps for 2 gfa 555s with some big Polk and yamaha speakers you recommend?

Tech3149…Did the deoxit and no more static! Thanks … I see what you meant about the mechanical switch and slide ribbon now… bought this new in 1989. Not sure if I should use the main or bypass output. Is the sound much cleaner on bypass?
