Default Revox A77 Switch and Pot Cleaning

I wonder whether there is any way to get some switch cleaner into a Revox A77's front panel pots and rotary switches without dismantling and extracting the switch board? I know removing the switch board is recommended if you need to change the electrolytics and trimmer pot on it, but if that's already been done and you just have a few crackles when adjusting the front panel controls?

Many thanks.

Mike

The problem is that the screws holding the switches and pots to the board, so unfortunately the switch board does have to come out.
