The newer ones have a square body and are easier to disassemble and 
clean.  The old round style is held together by 800 (just kidding ;) 
interlocking teeth and are a bitch to get apart.  Once apart, you clean the 
switch contacts with DeOxit5 or similar, then clean and lube (I use 
silicone vacuum grease) the O ring on the plunger.  I've seen 100 ohms on 
the switch contacts.  Should be < 0.5 ohms.
