The switch as described
previously is shown here. This method was used on the majority of stylophones.
It is the underside of these that
need to be cleaned. |
|
To get at the metal plates for cleaning,
carefully remove the circlips from the pegs using a thin knife blade. |
|
The switch in pieces, ready for cleaning.
Make sure the plate - which will drop out easily - goes back the right way up. |
|
The 'clicking' sound of the
switch is made by the notches passing over these ridges, moulded into the plastic case of the stylophone. |
|
This model shows 'real' switches fitted to a stylophone.
It is unlikely that they will cause a problem.
This is a bonus, because on this type they are soft-riveted to the case,
and would be far more difficult to repair - or replace.
A squirt of electronic contact cleaner into the workings should be enough
to get things going again, should switching be the fault on this type. |
