[Premium-Rx] Switches and Caps for WJ 8617 / 18 Receivers

[stephous]

I located a source for WJ 8617 / 18 series switches and keys, E-Switch. The
switches appear to be 100% compatible with the original ITT Shadow switches.
The new caps / keys are flat white, not matching the bone white WJ color. I
requested pricing for blank keys, printed keys, and switches.

The original ITT part number = 500130

The E-Switch part number = 5501MWHTRED

The original ITT key fits on the body of the new switch. I have an 8618B
that needs the filter upgrade and has a few weak switches. Some interesting
possibilities:

1) New Printed Keys
2) Many Key Colors
3) Many LED Colors

Be assured that the printed keys are expensive. A complete restoration could
be costly. I'm looking for ways to restore radios without cannibalizing
others.
