Re: EDP woes

Sounds like maybe you just have some dirty switches. Deoxit D5 will 
often revitalize contacts but I'm not sure what these switches are..wait 
I think they're the heavy duty ones and not the pc mount tactile ones.  
Anyway still might be that.  Pull it apart and make sure that the switch 
contacts are clean (.1 ohm or less hopefully) -Bob
