I'd guess all that crud that got inside the switch had blocked the contact hard enough to break it off.
I'm impressed that the replacement switch was still available.

[@QsTechService1]

It’s always fun working on CNC machine boards for companies they always pay pretty good I usually have flat rate with them companies specially fun, tracking down all the different switches they have and tactile buttons

[@bblod4896]

Oh, that switch is for the launching of an ICBM. Good job. 😂

[@simontay4851]

16:55 I would have still tried to repair that contact on the original switch by soldering a short piece of copper wire to it or even making a new contact from 0.5mm brass plate.

[@TheDefpom]

Yeah it needed to be 100% reliable though, if I could not get another switch I absolutely would have tried to repair the contacts, I do have a spot welder to attach bits on to the remaining contact.

[@sveinfarstad3897]

Switch is gonski 🙂

[@TradieTrev]

You can tell it's been flogged that machine lol. Must of come from some dirty factory.

[@simontay4851]

have, not of.
