The replacement key operated switch arrived this morning, so as it was a quick job it got fitted. The extra depth proved not to be a problem, and the only complication was that the junction where the front and rear of the switch body clip together was within the depth of the (plastic) panel stopping the 'ears' of the clip expanding far enough to retain. After a stern word it gave in and got fitted and soldered in. I decided not to fit the cover flap as they are a flipping (or flapping!) nuisance. While the panel was off I replaced the D-25 socket retainers with the pillar style. The originals were for sliding clips whereas my cables have the retaining screws. Another job ticked off the list - I'd planned to do this wees ago. |

Well that was a short live pleasure! Operating the switch to prove it inhibits the operations that it should, it fell apart in my hands :bugeye: The main body of the switch has a threaded portion that has cracked. Switch removed, wires soldered together and hole left in operating panel until replacement received :bang: (And no, it wasn't over tightened !) |

I have 3 of those Swisstac switches broken right now on my EDM.. And I know that the previous owner of the EDM replaced two of the 3 that has broke. I have decided that somebody chose the wrong type of plastic to make them from - too brittle. |
