[urq] Brown window switches ?

[RAUDI83TQ at comcast.net]

The switches can be disassembled, contacts cleaned and resume working. Be kind to the old plastic bits.

The black switches are the same switch used in the type 44 '85-'91. 
The '88+ have the raised vs depressed part of the switch swapped around. 
Also, they do go bad.

I converted to the new style and have been using switches from the 200q 
my 20v engine came from and have had to swap switches twice this summer.
