HI Chris:
    You can easily repair that switch by simply finding a contact of the
same size and then with a small dremel toot to gring off the old bad contact
and reattach the new contact with either a small screw of the correct size
of by running some tinned wire thru the hole to secure it in there with some
soldering. It's even possible that there may be a spare contact somewheres
in the tuner that isn't used.  SSN of Nebraska may have some of those
available but check at some hamfests for something of the same size.  Good
luck from Fern VE7GZ
