Thanks John, I've taken the bottom section off and the contacts have a fair 
amount of corrosion, but fortunately the switch contacts are corrosion free 
only a 
bit dirty.

By the way, what material is that battery casing made from, I assumed it was 
metal, but this winder has a lot of wear and it looks like dark brown plastic 
under 
the paint.
