Usually, I just pry apart the old switch, remove the metal piece, pry open the new cherry switch, (Just a little) to fit the metal piece in. Most cherry switches have the indention for the piece, you just have to transfer it off the old one. Later, dabone |

Do you still need some of these? I found 4 new BAOLIAN microswitches with the actuating arm in my box of goodies. If you want them, they are yours. I compared it to the switches on the bottom of some of my new SUPERS and they are the same with the exception of color (Cherry =white BAOLIAN=green) The spring tension appears to be about the same and did not notice any difference in the sound. -Goz |
