Seriously, how many people have ever
had problems with a toggle switch?! In my 50 years on the planet,
I've never had even the cheapest toggle switch cause problems. As for
jacks, well, just about any ∗panel jack∗ is going to provide decades
of use.
Also, sealed pots can indeed get scratchy and, when they do, your
only recourse is to replace them.
I have to comment here: I have had to replace many toggle switches and jacks in my slightly less than 50 years on this planet. The one small repair I had to make on my Serge (now twenty years old) was to replace an open frame (though not a cheapo) pot.
No complaints about price increases here, though I wouldn't mind having a ballpark figure on what the word "substantial" might mean in terms of dollars or percentage increase.
