Dimmer switch needed 120-130 1968

Totally rebuildable.
Drill off the head of rivets holding it together.
Clean contacts.
Wire brush around then peen the rivets holding the metal layers together. I found that the rivets were conducting well enough on my switch and that was what was causing the problem. Or if you want to get really fancy you can put some solder on there but you will need a pretty hot iron.

Put it back together. I still had enough rivet head intact to kinda hold it together, but the screws holding it to the floor will also clamp it together.
