I have encountered a roadblock in my Valiant rebuilding/re-kitting
project. I've discovered that the coupling switch has irreparable
damage. Not only is the ceramic wafer cracked, but two contacts are
burned off and the rotor has been damaged as well. This probably was a
result of hot-switching the transmitter at some point in its tragic
history. Who knows how the wafer got broken.
Anyway, I'm going to need a replacement switch. I have the "big iron"
(transformers and chokes), but if you have a carcass with most of the
underside of the chassis intact (including the wiring harness), I'd like
to talk to you about a purchase. If you have a decent-looking front
panel, that would be a definite plus. I'd prefer not to have to pay
shipping on a complete unit, but I would consider it if the price is right.
Please let me know what you might have.
Thanks!
