[Heathkit] DX-60 Rotary Switch

[cemilton at aol.com]

Ken,

If the two pieces of ceramic are smoothly broken, get some "cyanoacrylate" glue.  Commonly called "crazy glue" (check the label).  Flow the glue into the crack and press the halves together....holding them in place for a minute or two.  Then let the wafer set for a couple of hours.

I've repaired ceramic wafers like this before and they hold nicely.  Assuming here that the crack/break is a clean one.  Crazy glue is not a filler.

YMMV

All - while cleaning up the rotary mode switch on the DX-60 I'm 
re-manufacturing, noticed that the ceramic is cracked.  Does anyone know whgere 
I can get a replacement part.  Or at least a switch base that I can re-build to 
make like the original?

Thanks in advance for any/all ideas.
