Button cleaning and Q
« on: May 27, 2003, 03:57:58 pm »
Ok I read the post about bleaching old pushbuttons to make them like new...now can I only bleach white pushbuttons? Second...can I buy just the microswitches somewhere because the ones that came with my cab are a bit rusted but i wanna reuse the buttons? I was looking at Happs but I couldn't seem to find em.
Thanks
Derek

I wouldn't recommend trying the bleach idea with the colored buttons.  Just soak them in 409 or some other grease cutting detergent for a few minutes.  Just make sure you rinse/dry them well before use.  Wipe them down with a little WD-40 afterwards to shine em up a bit.

Click here for the microswitches. :)  You'll want the .187" terminal ones.
