850 PNP switch

May 10, 2006 2 Replies

Hi



Is it possible to take the PNP switch apart to clean the contacts?



ttfn.....Alistair


I took my old one apart after replacing it. It's loaded with grease. You'd have to clean it all out, check the tension on all the individual contacts, then re-grease with whatever they used in the first place. Not worth it., and I recall that the bent metal tabs that held it together break bery easily when un-bending them.. Just install a new switch..

Thanks Doug.......Its hard for me to get into the modern frame of mind of just replacing units. I still like to fix them, my son thinks I nuts!!
