Gerry:
I've done this, and it helps for a while, but the problem returns
eventually. The fact that it gets better after working the control
indicates to me that there might be dirt or dust in there somewhere, so when
I get the chance here, I'll take the top off and use some canned air.
Will probably stay away from contact cleaners, though.

Try twisting it left and right a bunch of times. Sometimes that works for
me.
