Teardown - Hitachi V1065
anjimoo:
I pretty much drenched the switch in contact cleaner. So far it hasn't changed anything. It just refuses to return to the center unless I delicately maneuver and hold it there.
true:
Then it is likely broken :(
If you can determine the pinout I can maybe help find a switch...no time for this myself, but I I looked but didn't find any direct replacements. With a pinout I could spare a few minutes to hunt for a switch.

I think I've found out how it's wired. Input is on the middle pin on the left of the switch (the one connected to the resistor) on the back of the board, output is on pins labelled 4, 5 and 6 depending on the state of the switch. It appears to be all continuous. As far as I can tell the other pins on the switch are unused.
Hmm I should've noted which position corresponds to which pin :P .. But I've currently reassembled it .. I'll pull it apart again tomorrow to check.
true:
If you can, label your image and I'll see what I can find. If nothing can be found you might need to make an adapter.

Use a switch cleaner which has lubricant
Make sure you have given the ball at the end of the toggle a good squirt - I think that's where they get gunked up.
Work the switch a couple of times until it comes free.
Possibly add a tiny bit of light machine oil (not 3-in-1).
If not and you're in the UK then PM me and we might be able to work something out with regard to a replacement.
