Needs to be replaced. What is this switch called, and what would be a heavier-duty version of this one. I burned it up years ago with severely mis-matched antenna loads and a good measure of ignorance.
A couple of days ago, the dishwasher handle switch gave up again - Sugru wasn't rigid enough to hold its shape under regular compression and friction. So I measured out the critical dimensions, designed and printed off an insert to address the worn-down nubs.
Of course, once that was addressed the electronics died completely! They were already only half-working, but the previously-glitchy switches were probably what killed them in the end.
Replacement board(s) ordered. Once those arrive though, I think I'll reverse engineer the broken board and open source the results. Who knows what may result? ;-)
Took the time to take some photos of my lovely Katrina as the weather is quite stormy today and I prefer not to work when is raining :)
A Route 10 TO Coddingtown Mall, was the Route 2, sits and cools it's 2016 New Flyer XD40 heels. Meanwhile Sonoma County Transit Bus #225, a 2014 Eldorado National Axess BRT rolls to a stop in the next lane as the 3rd to last Route 60 of the day to Cloverdale, CA.

Abandoned steel mill switcher at the former Wheeling Steel Plant/Complex in Benwood, WV. Having seen it's better days the yard switcher is slowly rusting away on a rail spur. Mill closed in the late 1970's. Photograph taken September 2011.

Santa carries the just deserts for bad little boys and girls. This hand carved Santa Claus is the bringer of oft overlooked gifts in the modern tale.
We have most of our related devices on switchable power strips so they can all be turned off with the flip of a single switch!
So I broke down and ordered a bukkumi bag from Switch when they were temporarily in stock. :B The box was huge! The package was cute, but I must say I was really hoping for one of the faceupped heads. Ah well, I do like the wigs I got, but I'll probably sell the Haji.

A healthy cut of inbound empty cars holds the main as L555 pulls out of the mill and stops short. The Hayward Branch would make for a neat model layout given it's handful of mill spurs and small siding. Operationally, they build the outbound train, spot the inbound cars, then back the whole train out to Hayward Jct. using a caboose to protect a number of crossings. February 18, 2013.
