@mrbishop: I've had the Alps Trident tool for some time now, but I had occasion to use it for the first time today to open a seemingly dead green Alps switch on a Zenith Z-150 board.
The tool worked beautifully to open the switch. I cleaned the interior of the switch, put it back together, and now it works just fine.
Questions:
1. Do you have a recommended technique for putting Alps switches back together when the lower half is still soldered into the keyboard? The main issue I had today was keeping the spring in place. I've seen the Alps switch cleaning video from Chyros -- just wondering if you had anything to add to this.
2. Are you still selling the plexiglass trident tools?
Thanks.
