"Both switches fail.. After time they become progressively more difficult to switch until they finally fail. "

That sounds to me like the failure is mechanical (as Bob said) and has nothing to do with contacts going bad due to excessive load, arcing or anything like that. In that case the advice to lubricate them may be the only way to extend their lives. I recall one of those switches failing in a similar way. I think I replaced it, and have had no trouble since. It would be nice to find a better switch that fits the same space and has the same look, or at least looks as good. If you find one I'd like to know the part number. I'd consider being a participant in a group order if that helps to get a better price.
