Careful use of an electronic cleaner spray might take the corrosion film off the contacts in the speaker output jack on the back. In my experience, just running a plug in and out a whole bunch rarely works. Dunno why, must be a tough oxide film that forms and is pretty resistive to electricity. That's the main reason for using gold plated audio connectors. They don't corrode. They really aren't any more conductive than a _clean_ chrome or tin plated connector. ===== "Work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger.
