Default Quad 22 buttons

Hi folks,

Any suggestions on how to stop the plastic buttons on my quad 22 amplifiier pinging off when they are operated? I don't want to resort to araldite! There are little metal clips inside the buttons but they are not doing very much.

Thanks a lot
Glyn

I used a small amount of Blu-Tak to good effect

Or a contact adhesive such as Uhu which would allow you to pull the buttons off again if needed.

Blue-tack or slightly stronger black-tack is good and does not react to the plastic.
Whatever you do, DON'T be tempted to bend the metal clips for a better grip as this will soon crack and break the button completely.
