Hi,
I've got an old piece of test equipment that has momentary push button
switches which are the primary "input" or control. While most of them
seem to work, many of them are sticky, mushy, and just don't have a
positive click.
I'm not totally adverse to simply replacing them --- assuming I could
find an exact match.
Is there a way to effectively bring these back to life? Can I lube
them? What should I use? How should I apply it?
Have a look on eBay for suitable switches, then buy a huge bag of them
for a couple of quid from a guy in China. That's what I do, and I've
got loads of spares for every clicky-switch panel...
