Inconsistant leveling system on '56 Clipper

The leveling system on my '56 Clipper does not work consistently. Sometimes it will work within the 7 to 9 second delay; sometimes is takes 30+ minutes to work. Two years ago I had the compensator control disassembled and the contact points cleaned, and it worked well for about 6 months. At that time, the mechanic suggested that I may need to replace the compensator control. Before replacing the compensator control, should I look at some other (perhaps less expensive) part replacement? I'm thinking that the stoplight switch may be something less expensive and easier to replace, and may be a good next step. I'm also thinking of installing a manual override switch. What are others' thoughts on the direction I should go?
