All my contact switches on the KLM-614 seem to be non functional, I de-soldered a few of them, checked continuity between contacts but they don't work, tried to pull them apart to clean but it seems impossible. 

I tried sourcing the Fujisoku TM1 switches but they seem to be either non existing or too expensive. 

I'm thinking of maybe laying out a new board with illuminated switches unless I can find an alternative pushbutton tact switch.

any info appreciated

thx

> What a drag!! no they are not regular 6mm tact switch. not only that, the top bezel is offset from the switch itself. see pic
