mine were corroded, and wouldn't make contact no matter how hard i pushed.
i ended up desoldering the lot of 'em, and replacing them with
common tactile momentary SPST microswitches, like you would use in the
x0xb0x. sure, it's ugly, and i used a sharpie to label them -- not a big
deal, as i've already drilled three holes for the pots for the moog slayer
and FM-800 mods.
the box is perfectly functional now, and is an essential component in my
quests in sound design. :)
