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.
