Key contact cleaning



Hi, Hammondists. :) (Hammondites?) 

I've got a C3 which is a few decades old (I don't know it's manufacture
date); full tonewheel arrangement, tubed amplification 'n' such. It sat in
a recording studio for about 8 years, getting infrequent use, and it's key
contacts got pretty dusty and intermittent. I now use the organ on a
weekly basis (have been for a few months) which has been wearing the
contacts clean, but I still get a good bit of dead or scratchy notes in
areas of the manuals which don't get used much. 

I'm looking for recommendations/how-to's on disassembling the keyboard
area and cleaning out the contacts. Anyone successfully done this?
