Did you ever see an old time watchmaker take apart a mechanical watch, throw all the parts in oil, and get it back together again? I thought the first one was a madman. He had a shop, and worked behind the front window of the shop. Fix did my very old chronograph for equivalent of $5 then, $25 now, I reckon.
So you can refurbish that switch mechanism. Many were designed to operate without lubrication, just springs and gravity to lock down little detents. A little diversion from electricity for many of us. Designer was also probably a madman.
