Hello All,
Just picked up a Zen On with 3 gold foil pickups and the 4 rocker switches. 1/on , 2/on, 3/on, and Rythm/Solo. I wanted to tighten them up but wanted to understant what needs to make contact. It looks like each switch has a piece that splits the 2 contacts when pressed. My question is should the contacts be touching always until they are split or should there be a gap between the pitchers? Hope this makes sense.

do you have pictures? some times it works either way. i have one that splits and breaks the contact and another that makes the contact when engaged. if the tab is plastic it breaks it, if the tab has a metal piece on it makes contact. if its the first kind, the tabs need to be touching all the time.

Thank for the reply;
The side that has the On etched into the switch is a plastic divider and the side that has 1,2, or 3 is a metal.
