[TenTec] ANOTHER Orion II Thread

My Orion II has developed what acts like a a "dirty" push button contact 
in the PBT/BW encoder knob. Sometimes when I push it, the indicator 
toggles between PBT and BW, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it 
"stutters," and briefly toggles then goes back. All other encoders are 
fine and all other push buttons act as they should. I suspect the 
encoder has to be replaced, but is there anything I should try before 
replacing the encoder?
