Hi there, It sounds all too familiarly like a problem with the switch itself. "Record" is the one that gets the most use/abuse so it's not too surprising that it goes first. I've replaced a few over the years. Try Mouser Electronics Part# 10PA005 View it on their website at: http://www.mouser.com/index.cfm?&handler=data.listcategory&Ntt=*10pA005*&terms=10pA005&Dk=1&D=*10pA005*&N=0&crc=true They're a little more than $1 US from Mouser. I bought a bag of 20 from them for around $17 a few years back -- which I figure will be a lifetime supply. I have no idea what the exchange rate will be for you (or if there are import/customs duties to figure in). But they're not too hard to replace if you are the least bit handy with a soldering iron. Buy a few extras and keep 'em tucked away for future emergencies. Good luck. tEd ® kiLLiAn http://www.pfmentum.com/flux.html http://www.CDbaby.com/cd/tedkillian http://www.guitar9.com/fluxaeterna.html http://www.indiejazz.com/ProductDetailsView.aspx?ProductID=193
