[sdiy] Roland MC-50 panel switch cleaning

[Adam Inglis]

Thanks for all the replies.
So it seems as long as I get the dimensions right it should be non- 
critical.

Is the rubber cap or dome as seen on the originals likely to be a  
significant contributor to the feel? Because the ones I'm finding  
don't have this.
