[Boatanchors] DX-60 Function Switch Wanted

[bcarling at cfl.rr.com]

Those wafers and those switches especially are difficult to find. What a lot of guys do is add 
a relay inside the DX60.

I used very small screws and nuts to mount the new contacts. They can be found where eye glasses are repaired. You may want to put some epoxy on the screws and nuts to make sure they don't loosen up from use. I have done this with a couple of DX60 rigs over the years. I got this idea from someone on the internet but don't remember where anymore.
