Ken -
You may want to consider swapping the switch wafers onto a new "front end" from a standard switch. Many are assemble with screws making it an easy swap. I have repaired a couple this way. I don't recall the size of the Function wafers, but they are a standard size. Centralab offered a line of switches in "kit form" for a while that allowed you to assemble switches from various wafers and detent mechanisms. I still see these at hamfests now and then.
For those switches that haven't broken yet, a little Lubriplate in the detent mechanism will prevent this. If your switch is hard to turn or snaps loudly, lube it!

Good Morning,
I need a function switch for my R-4C. Mine turns from OFF to CAL with almost no discernible detents at the intermediate positions. Instead of using a ball bearing to engage the detent this switch used a "bulge" pressed from a rotating plate attached to the shaft. The bulge has broken off. The AC power switch works.
Please state condition and advise cost and shipping charges to 10941-1211.
Thanks,
