MMPro faulty on/off switch

[MAS]

2 brand new MMPro's both with bad switches. I just received a new replacement MMPro directly from Castle, as well as bought another one from local retailer and both have bad on/off switches. It took me a little while to test every component before realizing that the switch was bad. Cut it out & soldered the wires together, now it runs perfectly. Right after installing #2, it experienced the same intermittent on-off-on...symptoms. Bad switch #2.

Hopefully Castle has a limited bad batch. Thought I would share for those chasing similar gremlins.
