Well it seems the replacement caps won't be here until tomorrow. No biggie as I was cleaning the G2 pots with D5 and F5 and decided to give the setup switch it's 5th or so cleaning when I decided to look at it closely with my video microscope. I couldn't see anything but the pads at the end for the setup mode and the contacts on the slider. They were pretty much black and it appeared the slider part wasn't making full contact even though the spring in it was providing pressure. Not sure this at fault, but it got me searching for a replacement and I managed to find an NOS switch and bought it. Should be in by end of week. So I'm going to replace the switch while the chassis is still out.

The G2s now rotate much smoother than before, so it can't hurt to have clean pots.
