Monitor 7B's fuse holder

I recently pulled my old pair of Monitor 7s out of the garage, got a vintage amp & receiver for Christmas, going back to analog. The speakers work fine after all these years but for one issue. The left speaker cuts out (not completely, just muffles and loses high end) sometimes. If I turn the fuse in the fuse holder it will kick back in. Bad connection somewhere on that fuse holder, just corrosion maybe? Gonna try and clean it up in the morning, but any advice would be appreciated :).

    Clean contact points real well with stiff brush. Sometimes the wire leading to it corrodes so also check that.

    Check the internal wiring. My 1A's wires were full of green corrosion. I ended up bypassing the fuses.
