(finally) continuing my 47-1230 restauration
#4

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.
