[Johnson] Johnson Ranger burnt contacts

All:
I put the finishing touches on my Ranger 2 resto. I
attempted to use a Dow Key 115 VAC T/R relay but was
unable to key the unit. 

After taking part of the R2 down, I found that SW4A
has burnt contacts. This is no surprise since this is
a design problem with the Ranger series. However, this
is the first time I've seen a Ranger with the mode
switch completly eroded when you switch to phone or
CW. 

Does anyone have an easy fix? I been looking at
replacing the wafer from a junker Ranger. Been
thinking about using an RF sense relay to do the
keying. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Cal, N6KYR/8
