bin and replace. they can be re-soldered n fixed but not worth that hassle as there an absolute pain to dismantle let alone rebuild

i have taken them apart and cleaned the contacts,but they only seem to work for a short time afterwards pattern parts are not too expensive now,and the time taken to repair them is not cost effective
