Randy, I tried contact cleaner on this switch after the picture. Still had a bad connection because the green corrosion has even gotten under the rivets between the head and contact surfaces so will be a total disassembly. Usually they just oxidize or get dirty on the surfaces and lose contact. Some cleaner and a few rapid rotations and all is well. Not so this time and not really sure why this one is so much worse than usual.

Anyway, switch was something simple to do instead of working on one of the half dozen other projects that have been sitting and waiting and might help someone in the future when real switches are $500 each.
