Editing Cherry M7 (section)

===Defaced tee mount===
The following switch is from an unidentified batch sold by RS; the switches have the RS logo printed onto the side, and the Cherry branding poorly machined off. Compared to all other examples discovered to date, the chief difference is holes cut in the base of the switch. They are otherwise virtually identical to normal Cherry switches from around 1981.
