Title: Power switch terminal - popped out
Post by: El T on January 01, 2017, 12:12:54 PM

So, I started to build my Crack tonight. When soldering the very first black wire to the terminal on the power switch, the terminal pops-out. Like the housing around the terminal melted (releasing the terminal) once I put the soldering iron to it.
The soldering iron was not on there very long at all.
Is this a common occurrence with a certain batch of power-switches?
Is a replacement for this switch easy to come by?

Thanks.

Thanks, D.
Who orders one switch, anyway?

I guess I'll have to get the PJCCS for the Quickie I just finished up last week. (already have the Speedball)

If you order a switch on its own, it will ship ASAP.

If you order it with a kit, it will ship with the kit, in 3-6 weeks (unless you choose a shipping option for the switch).
