cleaning amp inputs?

One of my inputs gradually got distorted and now the other one has too. Now there is no sound. Its been gathering dust. Any advice on home repair?

If it is just dirty, maybe something like Caig DeoxIT D5 spray would help. Squirt a little spray in, and then plug in a cable and work it around a little.

I hope it is something that easy.

Thanks. I posted in the bg forum too and someone suggested rubbing alcohol on a qtip which did the trick.

Glad you solved it. Still, it would be very worthwhile carrying a can of contact cleaner of the type bolo recommends. There are many brands out there and Radio Shack has a can of contact cleaner that should keep your amp in good shape as well. I'd suggest blasting your input jacks with such a cleaner.
