mstieg Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 With only 2 screws into the plastic housing/cover to take all the button pushing, they break after 25+ years. An idea of my mech. worked out pretty well but wasn't easy. 1. Removed busted plastic where stripped/cracked screw housing busted.2. Using a straw to fill, I put in some JB Weld3. After a day to harden, used the Dremmel to take it down to the right depth4. Starting with a 1/16" bit, drilled screw holes and worked up to size for screws to take5. Put screws in VERY slowly as too tight WILL BREAK the new base right outta there.6. Cross fingers and hope it lasts once in. http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/14392/Light_Switch_repair_1.JPG http://cdn.theboxotruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/e75-5.jpg http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/14392/Light_Switch_repair_2.JPG Sorry phone pics are a bit blurry. No after drilled pics, but you get the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
