Fwd: Re: [PolySix] Re: Replacement tactile switch and volume pot

2003-12-03 by greg montalbano

OK, one of the acceptable numbers is ALPS #SKHCAB -- Mouser electronics 
sells them as #688-SKHCAB, for about .66 each.
Other possible substitute: Omron B3F-4000.

As I recall, the procedure is to first delsolder the LED, which is holding 
the switch cap on.  After that's removed, the four switch legs can be 
desoldered.

Good luck.
