The switch on my Indus has gone bad. Position 5 cuts out sometimes, and position 4 sounds quite weak and bad sounding, which is not right!
I would like to change the switch to a new one, so the problem will be fixed
So I had a look inside the Indus. (The wiring is beautiful, and it even uses a "molex" connector!)
It looks like it uses a Schaller Megaswitch. Is that right? What model of this megaswitch would work?
Or perhaps I could use a "superswitch"?
My Indus is from 2003 if that helps.
Thank you.

Maybe you just need to open the switch and clean it....
Thank you M. Vigier, for your reply (and for making such beautiful guitars !!).
I will look for one of those switches.
I do not think that it will work better if I clean it, because I think the switch has broken mechanically, a little bit.
As I said, if I push it to the bridge position, and push a little bit too much it can actually break the circuit, as the lever and wafer are being moved when they should not be. I am not violent or forceful with my switching, but I do use the switch a lot on every single song and all the time at practice.
Thank you again for the reply and for trying to help!
