Off topic, but what's the paint called that you use to repair the
carbon buttons when they fail, and where can you find it?


Like this?

I don't have any experience with it but the
Large Print looks good.


I found some mo http://goo.gl/M1Sar Amazon $12.95
http://goo.gl/qEA3B eBay $5, and probably worth only that.


I haven't experienced 'worn out' contacts yet.
Gungy contacts, yes.

A little scrub with naphtha on a cotton cloth restores
operation muy pronto. Snap it back together and I'm
good to go for years of reliable use.
