Completely enclosed. No gaps or anything. Only two TINY holes on top.... not enough for cleaner to get in to the contacts. Unlike the Rotel which was easy to clean with the cleaner.

But the jumper worked.

  It will take courage, but if the only other option is to replace, you not really risking anything. I plan to give it a try on my Adcom GFP-1a preamp. There are too many switches to replace them all.

    I thought about drilling it, but not knowling the interior design of it I'd prob drill in the wrong place. Since I only needed one position to work I elected to just jump the switch. Pure luck that what I did made the switch work normally... go figure.

      Interesting! I wonder what happened there.

        Talked to a friend about it and he's like, "You just re-established a bad ground." Duh! Somewhere along the path the ground to the switch went bad, and my jumper re-established it.
        
        That's the only thing that makes any sense.

        That sounds very plausible.
