[sdiy] E SWITCH VERUS C+K??? need 25 SPDT toggles

[Jim Patchell]

The answer is YES!....

A few fell apart, generally, I could weed those out before I wired them in.

Worst...contact failure.  The "Mikado" is almost completely 
non-functional at the moment.  I still need to get around to replacing 
the switches in it...

And the sequencer that I did that used a lot of switches....

Became pretty useless only about a month after it was completed.

It took me several weeks to replace those switches.  Bargain switches 
just aren't a bargain.
