Well, both appearance and function are not very good.Yes, I used deoxit on the contacts which helped the contacts and the mechanism, but the handles are quite corroded looking.Originally it was so bad that the switch wouldn't fully "flip" into the other position.
I would still rather replace them if possible.

Are the switch bad in appearance, or are the switch contacts causing trouble? If contacts, on those kind of switches I've had luck pressing in and around a bit on the toggle handle and squirting some DeOxit D5 down into the switch collar to get it down onto the contacts.
I noticed today that DeOxit is on sale at Full Compass
