The poor bypass is also a common problem according to someone known to

issues.

If there is non-conductive grease in other , otherwise 240V rated
switches,
then that could be a generic problem with all switch makes, used for low
V,
low A purposes.


If the switch is rated for 240 VAC, then it wasn't made to switch
audio. You need self wiping contacts, not ones that burn away oxide when
switched.

I thought standard mains electric wiring pattressed switches were wiping
contacts.

Had to clean out the graphite grease - not high enough ohmage between the
static contacts. Stuffed more plain silicone grease in the ratchet section
and left the contacts area dry well low V, low A switches are usually dry.
