[JMS] 92200 tuner bandswitch

[W1LSB - George]

Hi Brian:

At some point in the company's existence, they made high power rotary switches.  I've seen them rarely on eBay.  Sadly, I cannot find any trace of the switches in Millen documentation. My Millen master data book is a 1959 edition, but does not have any switches, nor do any of the catalogs I have.  Perhaps one of the other members has the info.   What I don't know is what they were rated at, but the eBay photo I saw did look similar to the switch in the 92200 I have here, #646.

Surplus Sales of Nebraska has some B&W 6 position wafers available, but it's impossible to tell if they would fit or be adequate.

Good luck with project,

73, George - W1LSB

After replacing both broken 1/4” shaft couplers and two broken ceramic standoffs I discovered the five position bandswitch looks like a CBer tried to run 10KW into an antenna with a high SWR.  Anyway two contacts (common and 10 meters) are toast so I’m looking for a bandswitch. If I can’t find one I’ll have to try replacing the contacts so I’m looking for a parts donor.

Note:  I have two of these tuners. One is serial #550. It has a different (improved) switch compared to the problem unit which is #314. Of course I’d prefer to find the improved switch. 

Thank you,
