Rowe TI-2 question: putting the selector assembly back together

I'm taking apart and cleaning this near-working juke due to mouse infestation. I've started with the selector assembly up top, cleaning the metal tray and all the selector pushbuttons.

While I was removing the plastic selector grids, a few of these plastic sliders fell out, and I couldn't tell which tracks they came from.

I assume these sliders create a circuit when a button is pressed. But they don't appear to be identical. Are they interchangeable, or will I need to match them all up, testing continuity somewhere when the button is pushed to make sure the match is correct?

Thanks,
Marc
 
hope i remember this right....every other slide is the same as the others. each has to glide between the tabs sticking up to work correctly. I would clean each slide before you reassemble it because they usually have carbon build up on them over years of service. The fragile tabs that lock down each portion of keyboard are easy to break and usually need some sort of solder job to keep them in position after removal. good luck....
