Over here, the newer Funai mode switches cost about $1.50. We usually buy at least 20 of a kind at a time directly from Funai Parts. At current shop rates, $1.50 is equivalent to about 75 seconds of time, so it costs more to repair than replace. However, a lot of them can be taken apart without desoldering which saves about 30 seconds. Still cheaper to replace and far less chance of having to do it all over again free. Also the newest switch is so small and flimsy, if you even touch the fingers they just roll over and die. I do save lots of the old switches for the day when they may become NLA.

This is my reason for using the finest grade of steel wool to resurface metal and plastic. Then a good wash in hot water and detergent to get impurities from all surfaces. Now wash again with contact cleaner and lightly coat with a silicone lubricant.
