[Heathkit] VF-1 part needed

[Glen Zook]

Mouser has a suitable rotary switch for $4.24 in single quantities.  It has 4 sections on a single plane and can be wired to perform the shorting function used in the VF-1 using just 2 of the sections.

You could make a replacement using ElectroSwitch parts.

But it may take more than one wafer.

The current ElectroSwitch wafers are better then the original switches used 
by Heathkit. The current wafers are ceramic or fiberglass.
