So I have a 67 Viborlux Reverb. The amp isn't mint as it's definitely been well used. Everything works, except I have one problem with it that is kind of annoying.
The reverb's RCA cables are fickle. Some times they are sitting in their 'sweet spot' and the reverb works perfect, other times the connectors must not have a good connection and the reverb sound is weaker, or it just doesn't work.
To remedy this I normally unplug the jacks and plug them back in and move them side-to-side slightly until the connection is such that the reverb is working as it should.
Does anybody have some suggestions on how to best ensure that the best contact is being made? Is contact cleaner the best method, or what about something like this:

The RCAs are original so I could just replace them with new RCA cables, but it could be the jacks rather than the cable/connectors.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
