Simmons SDSV pushbuttons

Simmons SDSV pushbuttons

2013-10-23 by <roby.mx@...>

Hi all,
I have a SDSV with some sound-selection pusbuttons not working well (sometimes
they remain pushed after I release the pressure on them). Do you know where can I
find the original pushbuttons to replace the faulty ones? Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Roberto

Ciao Roberto,

the original pushbuttons were made by C&K, but they are not available anymore. Dave Simmons recommended a successor model but it didn't fit into the socket :-|

I never made another attempt to solve this problem but probably somebody can check the original pushbutton specs and can recommend a substitute, probably at digikey.com where C&K components are available

If it's not the switching circuit behind them?! I'm battling those on my
hihat card.

Hello Roberto,
 
check, if the buttons have contact to the aluminium front panel. Most of the time they stuck because they are not well centered. May be you have to unscrew the front panel and make the square holes slightly wider.

Hello, thanks to all for your suggestion! I will check if the pushbuttons are well centered, and then

I will let you know.


Ciao from Italy
