Jered-
Thanks brother! I've had some luck finding a distributor for the SP86 A
style switches themselves...a much cleaner way to go I imagine.
In looking at the switches on the board... it looks as though the removal is
simply to pry the plastic on the north and south sides of the switch off the
plastic tab. Apart from that, is there any solder work that needs to be
done for removal of the switches, or is it as easy as I i'm imagining? I'm
having a harder time find a special tool to pull the tabs apart congruently,
than I am sourcing the switches.
