You sound like my grandfather.

Wait until I ask you how to use the VCR.

I would guess that the housing movement is not important, as long as the switch relative to the pins are solid. I think Robert's picture confirms that the loose housing is a feature of the switch. It might be intentional, since you obviously can't mount the switch first and then solder the board to the switch. Instead you have to solder the switch to the PCB. The play in the housing might be there to insure you can still fit everything into the enclosure even if the switch is a few degrees off true. My guess.

That all makes sense. Thanks!
