"EP Swynar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Guys,
Well, rather than trying my luck for a new S1 switch for the T-4X here (fat chance, no doubt!), I reverted back to "...making-do" with what I've got, i.e.: -I made a sketch of the wafer, & indicated which coloured wire(s) was soldered to what lug(s); -Then I snipped off each of the attaching wires right at each lug; -I confirmed where, exactly, the one loose "orphan" lug was supposed to attach to the wafer, and how everything was to align, and finally, -I applied just a wee bit of slow-cure epoxy glue to the phenolic piece that broke off, and secured everything nice & steady for the 24 hour curing process with a piece of masking tape. Once the intial application of glue has hardened, I'll apply LIBERAL amounts of additional glue, on BOTH sides of the switch as well as to the edges, to ensure things won't come apart again under stress of rotation. As I said before, this technique worked very well with the function switch on my old SB-400, right up to the day I retired the rig. ...And hopefully this'll be the last of this string! ~73~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
