[Heathkit] SB-200/SB-201 Parts Needed

[Chris Codella, W2PA]

Jim,

That wafer is a 2P5T on one side, and on the other side has 5-positions 
2-poles where one position per pole is un-shorted in each position, the 
rest are all connected together (from both poles), but it appears from 
the schematic that this side is not connected to anything at all.  I 
don't have my SB-200 open at the moment so, if possible, someone else on 
the list please confirm that this is actually the case.

Usually the only place to get a replacement is from another SB-200.  But 
there are switch makers who make stackable rotary switches who might be 
able to sell you a replacement.  The problem there is that these things 
are usually self-contained units with their own shaft (Grayhill, for 
example http://www.grayhill.com/Rotary/).  In that case, you'd have to 
cut the existing shaft short, mount the new switch on the back chassis 
panel, and connect the two shafts with a coupler.  Could be done.  You'd 
have to check out the dimensions.

Electroswitch also makes rotary switches and wafers - their "open frame" 
style.  It might be worth checking with them.

73,
Chris, W2PA
