[Milsurplus] Ceramic wafer switch repair on a TBX-2

[John McCarty]

Groups;

        I have a TBX-2 I've started working on, and noticed that the fine
inductance rotary switch, which is a ceramic wafer with eight contacts, is
broken in three pieces.

	First question, anybody got a spare ??


        Second question, failing finding a replacement, is it possible to fix
this thing. One of the three pieces is still on the long bolts that mount this
switch to the next one. The other big piece is loose hanging on it's stiff wires
and looks like it can be glued back into place. But, the third little piece,
which only has two contacts seems to be missing material on both ends where the
holes would have been to mount the wafer. If I glue the two bigger pieces back
together, is there some kind of "filler" that would allow me to glue the third
piece back in place, or, is it possible to "sister" a piece of hard plastic to
the piece of ceramic with some glue and then use the new piece hold the switch
together?



                                                                               
73 + tnx
