Hi all,,, I just scored a rather pricey microphone very cheap because he couldn't verify that it work. After moving an internal jumper that allows phantom or battery op. BUT, the on/off is worn & to get it to work, I need to find that sole single spot somewhere between on & off. See my pic of the switch, & the 6 contacts beneath the board. I want to jump some wires to the correct points to have the mic ON, forever. The manufacturer even suggests to leave it on when attached to phantom power, & the rechargeable 9v's will always get a trickle, & never drain. So, can I do what I think is possible? It's a simple 2 way switch, but with those 6 contacts.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Shouldn't be too difficult. Without the schematic, you'll need to verify which pair of contacts gives the desired behavior. The other pair may be connected to nothing; it's not unusual for a DPDT switch to be specified when only one 'throw' is needed. The other two pins provide added mechanical strength.
That looks like original solder. Have you tried reflowing the solder?

Reflow the solder, then get some deoxit or contact cleaner in there and operate it like 40-50 times. See if it comes good.
Being old school, I just looked up G22 switch. Do you think the logo could actually be for NKK? Is so, here is a datasheet for a NKK G22 0.4VA switch

You should be able to find out a replacement from those specs.
Here's where i found it but I'm sure you can find a replacement nearer you.

Yeah,, A rep from CAD contacted me with that exact part #, # it's available a anywhere but Fleabay, lucky for me! thnx & be well

I simply ordered 2 new switches from Mouser for
16 bucks... Spraying contact cleaner helped a bit, it's a high end mic, & I just want to do this once, & do it right. I don't have the experience to solder on circuit boards, plus they're very precariously positioned. I bought the mic el cheapo, advertised not working, for parts. $80 for a 300+ mic is quite satisfying.
Thanks all for the inspiration!!
