Pictures concerning cleaning and repairing of the tabs

I cleaned up the contacts of the tabs... The tabs themselves were dirty beyond belief... I had to wash em with soap to get that sticky dirt off.

To Clean the tabs thoroughly you need to remove the springs... It is not a work for the faint hearted.

You preferably need the patience of a buddhist monk and keep a cat in the room when you remove or mount the springs again (when the springs shoot against the ceiling and get lost in you're room somewhere the cat will instantly know where it hit the floor :p ).

here some pictures :
