[QUOTE="Tony S, post: 493718, member: 20864"] Replacement parts are unavailable (discontinued 1997) so you’re going to have to be gentle. Try putting a bit of tension on the rotary handle with an adjustable spanner and hitting the pivot point with a hammer, it should shock the switch open. Clean the switch blades and apply a small amount of Vaseline. A word of warning, some old switch grease is carcinogenic, wear gloves. [/QUOTE]
