Have you seen what holds the button mechanism together? It's amazing that my originals are still together and working, just the chrome bubbled up and chipped away on them.
I bought a set of repro's and not even a couple years later, and with very light usage the button mechanism broke. I bought new ones again, and they are better but I bet they won't last as long as my OEM one's.
When you decide to get a new set, you may want to put a dollop of JB weld on on the back where they are pinched to hold the spring in place.
