I had this page bookmarked about issues with Atlas Switches, that i thought would be useful to both of you.

*EDIT 3/ 27/14* seems this link no longer works... But I saved the original PDF. if you'd like a copy, email me and I'd be happy to forward it on. I am not the original author, I just saved it
I've had issues with the small wires on the underside of the switch burning out, but I have not had the other issues described there ( which may have been fixed with the "newer" Atlas switches.
