Foreplay Extended 3 Severe Hum - Channel selector

203.82.114.57

I have a Foreplay 3 Extended that is humming bad and I actually know what the problem is. The problem is centered in the channel selector switch. There is STP that runs from the selector to the volume pots.

If I shake the posts where the red and black wires go the hum goes away. It's like the posts or something internal on that switch have failed. If I play with it enough the hum goes away but comes back a month or two later.

So. I think I know what to do. I have to change that switch but it's probably the busiest component on the whole Foreplay 3.

Somebody tell me this has happened to them and there is a miracle cure to this problem without changing the switch.

If not what is the part number for that switch so I can source it? My manual isn't handy.
