If it's like the tuners in my CTC-11s, cleaning may be all that it needs. I'm not a fan of those tuners. Despite being cleaned at least twice, the tuner in my 11 is still funky.

When cleaning, avoid spraying all over the place. Don't use anything abrasive on the contacts. I use Q-tips (or whatever) dipped in DeOxit. Some people use a different brand of cleaner, some follow the cleaning with something else to rinse. There are many theories and practices to choose from, when it comes to cleaning contacts.
