"...That switch is such a bear to replace, I'm not so sure your repair isn't better!" ********************************************* Hi Garey, Many thanks for the FB note...and my thanks to Don & John for their words of support, too! Yes, replacing that entire switch would be a real nightmare --- reminds me of servicing modern-day cars, wherein half of the A/C plumbing has to be removed first, in order to get access to a sparkplug...! Hi Hi Well, all I did here was REMOVE just the (affected) back wafer, applying the proverbial K.I.S.S. philosophy...and I'm glad I did, because I know that a repair would have been absolutely impossible without literally having the wafer "...in hand." There is simply no way that I could have seen where the "orphan" lug / contact belonged, never mind installing it properly. I guess I was lucky that it was only the rear wafer that was bad, & NOT the front one! Anyway, I'll let the first application of epoxy harden overnight --- to-morrow I'll apply more to impart strength into it, and may well do so again after that, too...and then let it all sit undisturbed for about 48 hours, to insure everything is solid & well, before re-installing it into the T-4X. I'll have an update as to my success (or LACK thereof!) probably near the end of the week...stay tuned, if interested, Hi Hi... ~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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
