## Discrepancy

REGARDING MEL ON FIRST OFFICER`S ELEC SEAT CONTROLS, ELEC VERTICAL CONTROL ON FIRST OFFICER'S SEAT INOPERATIVE.  DURING CLIMB OUT SEAT STARTED MOVING BACKWARDS ON ITS OWN, PROBABLY DUE TO  FORCE ON ELEC SWITCH, VERY LOOSE, RECOMMEND DISABLE SWITCH.  REPLACED HORIZONTAL ELEC SWITCH ON FIRST OFFICER`S SEAT ASSEMBLY.  OPERATIONS CHECKED GOOD.
