The amp is a Heathkit SB-200, I think it used the same switch as many other Heathkit amps. If you have anything that John might be able to use, let me know and I will get you in contact with John.

The same shaft actuates both wafers with the input wafer on the outside of the HV cage and the output wafer on the inside. However, they are different size wafers.

I was wrong, the SB-200 is different from the SB-220. Both wafers are inside the HV cage. However, the tank circuit wafer in the SB-200 looks much the same as the one in the SB-220 from the photos I have found. I have an old tank circuit wafer from my SB220 that is pretty well burned up but there are maybe three stationary contact sets that are undamaged and could be rescued by drilling out the rivets. Tell John I would be happy to donate it to the cause. The Heathkit part number of the wafer is 63-562.
