[Heathkit] In need of old ceramic switch

[Glen Zook]

You don't need the contacts just from a ceramic switch.  Any rotary switch that has the same style contacts can furnish new contacts.  Just carefully remove the contacts from the wafer of the "source" switch and from the original switch.  Then mount the new contacts on the old wafer using the small machine screws and nuts like are used on eyeglasses.

If you talk "real sweet" to one of the technicians at one of those "mall" type 1 hour eyeglass places she will usually give you several for free.

I have a nice DX60B that has bad contacts on the function switch that I need to replace. These are to contact that switched in the B+. Does anyone have an old ceramic switch I could buy so I can salvage the contacts? I will have the new contacts switch in a 12v relay so this doesn't happen again.
