Electrical Problem '82 CGT

I agree exactly.. Pull apart, shoot with quick shot of contact cleaner, 
toothbrush if desired, add dab of silicone dielectric grease, 
reassemble.  Should fix anything.

Contact enhancer like DeoxIT would be the next step (I've seen DeoxIT @ Radio Shack).  Dielectric grease can be used to minimize oxidation in places where moisture may be a problem.  Anything more aggressive can damage the contact surface and create more problems than it solves.
