YAESU FT-847 MEM / VFO CH rotary switch problems

Has anybody had problems with their YAESU FT-847 MEM / VFO CH rotary switch? Mine is kind of flakey, (and getting worse). It jumps around changing more that one channel at a time. I think this was a common problem? I don't know if a little contact cleaner would help or if it has to be replaced. Also not sure how difficult it is to remove the front panel to gain access.
Your thoughts??

Thanks and 73,

Tom- N1UXA

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
