Repairing GGTS button/switch

[Para]

I ordered from Gauss Boys, Neodymium Magnets by Gaussboys Super Magnets

They're not the exact dimensions, but they worked for me, and they worked for others I told about them, so they just might work for you as well.

Model R0602 - 6mm x 3.5mm x 2mm N38 Nickel Plated Neodymium Magnet - Ring - $0.14/each.

Magnets aren't EXACTLY to dimension so order a handful and pick out 3 undersized ones. If necessary it's easy to polish a tenth of a mm from the button tube.

Another alternatives for us to get the button upgrade! Thanks natureboy for sharing.

I think these magnets will not work properly Para. They are 6mm and the hole of the button is 6mm too so maybe they will stuck.

If they try to use 6mm, no doubt they will stick in the tube; that's why I suggested they measure out 3 that are smaller than 6mm. I've ordered 6mm and found some that were 5.7 - 5.8mm

Ideally, 5.5mm would be what I would suggest; but those are hard to come by

Like I said, they've worked for me and others, and for $0.14 why not try? Better than 3 for $15 + shipping.

Well I bought 33 of them so hopefully there will be some in that batch that are smaller than 6mm. Plus it was only 10 bucks for all of them and shipping, not a bad deal in my opinion. If none of them fit I will just have fun with a bunch of magnets or throw them at people driving who make me mad... jk

Maybe you were lucky because as Para said their dimentions vary. I just cant suggest them because of their dimentions. If someone tries them and they work for him I am very glad for this

you have a pm

 

[ainako]

Thanks again fright for that, so I got the dang thing apart. By hand too, it was actually pretty easy. Turns out the whole time I was turning it the wrong direction. D'oh!!

Np google ggts wiki for all kinds of great info on the ts avs ect. Links to great
Videos and nice diagrams

I already got the magnets in my hand. I will try them after I go bowling. It was such a HUGE package in the mail and such very small magnets lol

[silentt]

Exactly.

I like the name change... or did I have a few to many drinks at the bowling alley? lol

I just got home and I will try the magnets out, once I get the button taken apart

I only had a couple that were too wide(2-3) and the rest fit fine. The only problem is they are too thick and you can't use 3 magnets to get a more stiff button push. I have 2 magnets in there right now and it's like a hair trigger, you barely touch it and it's firing. I kind of like it but I'm going to keep one ggts magnets and the other one regular spring.

Strange.. I used three in mine. Maybe the switch is shorter now..
