I had a problem with my Omega 50 last year, although I don't remember if the problem occurred during spring or summer, but both seasons tend to be very humid here. One channel kept cutting out, and I contacted Frank by email to let him know that I intended to send the component to him for repair. Frank told me to move the selector switch twenty times in both directions, which fixed the problem. If that hadn't worked, he wanted me to use Deoxit, but he told me that the switches were "self-cleaning," and Deoxit would not likely be necessary. Nonetheless, I bought a can of Deoxit, which I keep around in case of an "emergency." I have never had a problem with interconnects.
