Hi Keith,
As others have said, it sounds like perhaps you sprayed DeOxit on the
wafers. Now the question is, what to do about it, not why is it.
I'd suggest getting some EverClear at the local ABC/liquor store.
It's straight grain alcohol, 180 or 190 proof. (it's inexpensive) Use a
small syringe or hypodermic needle to spray some of it on each wafer to
saturate them and drive the residual cleaner/DeOxit out. Let dry and try
again. Also maybe you've washed any lubricant out if the indent wafer at
one end of the switch. Put a drop of oil on the ball.
If all else fails, just mix the EverClear with your preferred mixer
and you'll soon forget it all. (don't try it straight)
