What ohm tweeters, HH Scott 197B 3way speakers

you may try to flush the switches with a solvent electronics cleaner .. soak them up a bit and see then flush back out with something like dexoit
 
Is that to remove any contaminants that may cause arcing if you use the switch while the speakers are running, or just to clean the contact surfaces and try and make the switch transparent to the crossover (or both)?

Thanks.
 
maybe i misunderstood .. i was thinking they were stuc and often the grease in switches just gets so hard they cant be moved so you can use a solvent to clear it out but if you are getting arching thats different all together, if you are going to remove them hopefully you can see if there was a resistor built in as part of the x over design not alll that common but it has happened my suggestion was for if they were stuck you might get them released that way
 
The switches are plastic, and the threaded part with a locknut has broken (common problem) so the switch lever has come away and can no longer latch or hold the connections together. I'll replace them with some metal equivalents. I did think of just shorting the two contacts that put the circuit into 'flat' as the other two positions are -3dB or -6dB, but then thought it would be better overall to have new switches and the choice to use them.
