Hi, gang.
I managed to find a replacement input jack online - really tough finding parts for these and many are obsolete. I need to replace the sliding switches (Channel Mode/Compressor Selector) and cannot find a part # to reference. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help is appreciated!

It looks like you are talking about the 4 position slide switches. If so, see my last post of another thread here:Fdesalvo wrote:Hi, gang.

Did you try to clean the switches with Deoxit D5 first? Works wonders. Very seldom do you need to replace switches.

Hi,
Thanks for the great response. I haven’t tried cleaning the switches yet, but will. They aren’t causing issues, but are difficult to move to the right position. They tend to end up in between the channel/mode detents unless I’m being overly careful in switching them.

I think I’ve sourced a couple potential drop-in slider switches with pc terminals. I’ll update this thread with pics/part#s if they pan out.

Re: Need Sustainor Sliding Switch Replacements
Expecting the switches to arrive today, but while recapping and cleaning my new DG, discovered something that helped the feel and travel of the switches.
There are small metal tabs running along the top of the switch, between the detents. The body of the switch itself - the part connected to the black plastic lever- runs beneath these and stops along the detents. I was able to clean the top of the switch where this friction occurs and apply a little lube to the black switch lever. This helped the feel of the travel quite a bit. I can see this being a decent short term solution if one is waiting on replacement switches.
Update soon..
