The other switch the "on / off" lever moves (on the lower circuit) does of
course switch from manual to auto, but this flipping of the top cover switch
will never clean those wire switches and posts.

| John,
| Don't agree completely here, since part of the switch also
switches
| over from photo-diode to switched resistors, so if it goes open in either
one
| of the "on" positions the time can get very long and approximates lockup.
A
| more subtle error would be a contaminated (leaky) switch but this would be
| more consistantly bad than described.
|
| The other switch that might get flakey ( only on manual ) is the speed
ring
| switch which might also give a "lockup" effect. Not applicable to Joel
since
| his problem seemed to be on Auto.
