Hello;
Anyone care to lend some advice on best practices when it comes to lubrication on the 027 Remote Control Switches? This would be for either the older 1122 switch or the newer 5121/5122 switches. On my layout I have converted all my switches to constant power as well as being modified for capacitor discharge. I have even gone through the effort to install a master switch that turns on and off the constant power, thus putting them through less wear and tear. My layout is now about 17 years old and as can be imagined does go through periods of non-use. But lately it is active.
However a couple switches have become very sluggish to the point that while I can tell they electrically function, they no longer snap back and forth and need manual assistance. Surprisingly, I cannot find any good threads where this is discussed on these switches.
Anyone have some advice?
