thinking bout selling one, but wanna get it fixed beforehand

based on experience it probably means that the switch is going bad, as its not keeping connection to either keeping the effect on/off... i also have a fuzz factory but i haven't really examined the "guts", i believe that the switch is not hardwired to the board which will make putting a replacement switch easier...
which fuzz factory do you have? the vexter series units have an LED which would require a 3pdt type switch to make it true-bypass w/ an LED, the hand painted originals have a dpdt switch to the best of my knowledge as these units do not have an LED. Small bear electronics is a good place to get replacement parts for effects (also there is Mouser, forget Ratshack they don't have these type of switches anyways). you need to de-solder the old switch and solder in the new switch making sure all the connections go to the same place (which are the board inputs/outputs, jack inputs/outputs, ground and LED if necessary).
