I'd recommend removing half the strips and rotating the drum until you can properly reach the fixed contacts for proper cleaning.

Yeah, that spam actually tried to have some relevance to the topic. I had tried a number of times to get into those fixed contacts, even following what you suggested by removing several strips. They are just too buried to still access that way. The whole deck can be removed, but I just don't think it is worth it. The solution I worked out seemed to do a nice job of getting that crap out of there.

I have two sets of e-caps in series without balancing resistors (2X33 and 2X47) what is the best way to calculate the resistor value? One manufacturer's data sheet stated just 10/C is a way to ballpark it, while others stated some fairly involved math is necessary. Finally, a Cornell Dubilier data sheet stated that they aren't necessary, as they generate uneeded heat and are more likely to fail than the caps.
