Subject: Musicaid/Simmons Clap Trap II Buttons

From: sovereigng@...
Date: 2014-08-18

     Some years ago I bought an analogue Claptrap. The humanizer button was always intermittent. It didn't bother me because I didn't use it seriously. I kept it for a decade or more because it's labeled Musicaid and I thought it was nice to have some of the earlier Simmons gear around.
     Anyway, The humanizer can no longer be turned off so I opened the Claptrap to discover that the case of the switch (which is rather large) has come apart. I've determined that I can repair the switch but I'd like to have some replacements on hand if it doesn't work out or another button fails. 
     My question for my fellow Simmons nerds is are these momentary switches available? Were they custom made for Simmons? Does anyone have spares for sale?
