4 amp rated and doubled up as used in Crate GT 100H Stealth output impedance
selector. Amp grumbling by buzzing in its op Tx and no output. The selector
sw had vibrated into the "off" position. Easy to get into and there is no
detent spring + ball or toggle flip-flop contorted torsion spring mechanism
.. In fact the natural position of this switch is between the 2 states with
the moving contacts between the pairs of fixed contacts, ie off/ no
contacts, only the contacts themselves hold the slider in posistion when
manual moved. A huge slot that would take a carpenter's 3/8 inch screwdriver
but only requires a jeweller's screwdriver to shift, at 300 gm of force to
move one way and 600 gm the other.
Now I know what to do, just a 1/4 hour job to retrofit a dedent. Rob a
spring and ball from a standard slide sw. 2 grooves ground into the inside
of the fixed body of sw and hole drilled through the sliding section opened
out at one end for the ball , the end of the spring glued in place and ball
in-between static and sliding sections.
