Oh, I am nearly sure, that the contacts make the mechanical trouble. The switches had been 
moved not so often last 20 years....
In my prodigy-switches i used a very fine oil - that worked good, i had to use them carefully 
30-50 times and the problem was gone. But the mini is 6 time more expensive - so i have to 
be 6 times more careful  ;-)
I´ll test it with the noise-switch - this is the less-used....in worst case i will get a mixture of 
pink and white noise....hoho.
Thanks for your tips!!!
