This evening I was trying to fix the limit switch that turns the phono light on.
After much contact cleaner, opening the switch and cleaning, I came to the conclusion that it was just too damaged and that's what was causing it to not fully retract to off position when in use. So I added a return spring (green arrow)
Then, upon reinstalling, the hole for the pull spring teared out. (circled orange)
... I don't really want to pierce another hole. The whole design was strange at best.
I guess I'll just install a modern switch like I was trying to avoid.
