[Heathkit] Need Apache mode switch

Hello Group,

I'm looking for an Apache mode switch. After 5 years of my Apache sitting on
a shelf, I wanted to put it to work again. It was working perfectly before I
gave it a rest... I noticed that the mode switch was stiff and applied
Deoxit on all the switches and pots, prior to bringing it up slowly on a
Variac. Turning the function switch between the CW/SSB/AM positions didn't
feel any easier, so I looked at the switch coser and noticed that the front
wafer is split in half. 
I'm surprised that just by sitting unused for 5 years the ceramic wafer just
cracked and split.
Anyway I'm looking for the switch - someone must have either a spare one or
a parts unit...
Hope to fix that puppy and put it on the air again.

Thanks - 

73, Meir WF2U
