Sean,
I have one other question for you, I am not at the Churchill home right now, so I am unable to get my hands on one of my FT CC Switches. The slide bar that you are removing the nub from, can the screw from the operating lever be removed and the entire slide bar turned around in the opposite direction and reinstalled, instead of removing the nub. Looking at the video, this looks like it could happen, however I can not really see how the slide bar all lines up with the copper operating connections. If this is possible, simply unscrew the control arm and turn the slide bar completely around, and reinsert it. In this manner you do not need remove the nub. As I indicated this may or may not be able to happen. The gap on the frog in the 2nd video looks like the Lionel tooling is wearing and the dimensions for the frog flipper are not holding true form any longer. We will need to check every switch now to make sure your fix has to be done or not. For as much as we pay for these FT CC switches, this quality control mistake should never be happening either.
Thanks again for the great rework videos.

That would probably work too. I did not want to take all that apart. A super sharp hobby knife is all I used and it was fixed in less than a minute. The copper strips have nothing to do with the slide bar. They are not related, they are used just for the led in the switch stand.
