My third P53

[Geaney]

If all else fails try drilling out the rivet on the contact, sort it and re-fix with a tiny bolt and nut. I salvage contacts from old wafers, if you need any let me know. I would not have a wafer complete for this set, it is a complicated beast.

When I finally located the offending contact it became clear that any repair that involved removing the contact would also involve completely dismantling the whole wafer switch assembly.   I'll be honest, that level of open heart surgery was a bit daunting to contemplate.   I'm hopeful that by having 're-bent' the contact such that there is effective contact once more will last.   I've been giving it a good stress test for the last few days and so far its looking solid.
