[Heathkit] Need AT-1 Meter Switch.

[Randy Perkins]

Hi Glen, Thanks for the info. I have ordered a lot of parts from Mouser 
over the years and that is a good idea. It looks like my glue job is 
doing well. I will know for sure when I get the switch put back in. This 
glue is pretty impressive, it reminds my of the E6000 glue that I used 
to have years ago. It is called Liquid Nails Clear Small Projects. It 
dries to a very hard clear bead. Looks like the phenolic part of the 
wafer switch where it broke is stronger than before with this glue on 
there. Thanks for the reminder about Mouser & I have enjoyed looking at 
your web site.

In the AT-1 transmitter it switches between the grid and plate current meter positions and has a center off position. Hope that helps a little. Actually I put some liquid nails glue on the phenolic where it broke and it looks like it just may hold. I am going to let it dry for a couple more days and see  what happens.
