 Try your local paint store.
 Look for replacement carbon tetrachloride.
 The replacement is tri-chlor.
 Either 1,1,1 Tri-Chlor, or failing that, dry cleaning fluid, which
 is per-chlor ( similar, but not as volatile ) will clean them well,
 without attacking the surfaces of various plastics, plating and such.
 A Q-tip with this stuff should be more than adequate.

 ( your local dry cleaner will probably give you a couple ounces )
