Stuck Scanner Buttons

I do not know if this is a question for an antique radio forum, but I seen a transistorized record player question here. I have a Bearcat 180 Police Scanner. The manual and scan and other buttons are stuck. Thought of spraying it with WD-40 but will see what other remedies there are

Don't use WD-40 on it. Try holding it push buttons down, then use regular rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. Push the buttons with that until they are free. Let dry before you use it.

Many thanks Warren, Glad I got some advice on it. Will give that a try tomorrow as it is supper time here in VA now.
