Default 1976 Power Windows

I'm sure this has been brought up here before. I have a 76' with only 25k on it and the power windows are having issues. I sometimes have to flip the switch back and forth a couple dozen times before they move (this goes for both windows). Sometimes they'll go all the way down or up and sometimes they'll only go part of the way and stop and I'll have to start playing with the switches again. Any advice?

Look for a recent thread from Willcox regarding how to repair the power window switches. I would start there as it sounds like they're full of debris and/or have corroded contacts.
