[sdiy] Roland MC-50 panel switch cleaning

[Tom Wiltshire]

Another vote for replacement. As Tony said, finding the right ones is sometimes tricky, but there's always something out there that fits. At least tactile switches are cheap. Find somewhere that's got several types that look about right and order one or two of each. Once you've found something that works, order the rest.
It's tedious, but feels good once you've done it.
