Theo is shaking loose some of my old brain cells.
I had the rotating switch problem too. I asked Paul Reisentz about it, he
told me about the stock square washer and gave me one.
When I went to put it in, I found I already had one. The routered cutout
is too big, so Theo's custom part is the way to go to really
fix the problem.
