[Johnson] switch

[David C. Hallam]

I have repaired ceramic switch wafers with epoxy glue in the past with good
success.  If the break makes the switch unusable, you don't have much to
loose to try.  Epoxy will stand up to any RF the Valiant will develop.  You
might want to investigate to determine why the wafer cracked to prevent it
from happening again.  The only place you will get a replacement is from
someone's spare parts stock.

I just repaired a burned phenolic wafer in one of my Invaders with epoxy.  I
was getting arcing through the phenolic from front to back rotor contacts.

Good luck
