Guy's

Hopefully someone can help, trying to restore a Columbia Jubilee set.

Noticed the contacts on the volume push/pull button were not contacting as per the trader sheet ie they were not making at all.

Filed the rivet heads and knocked the rivets out, the little brass roller was tarnished, so problem located.

Trying to put back together and the spring and little washer fly off, spring located, washer gone

I think it is a slotted dolly double pole change over switch, but other variations may have the same washer.

Picture taken for my reference before I lost the washer, highlighted in the red circle.

Would any kind member have such a washer or a switch containing this washer. I can Paypal for postage and costs.

Thanks

Lee

Hi Lee, Is this any use, I saw it today on a chassis that’s destined for the dump. Norman

Thank you to a a couple of members, David G4EBT who put me in contact with Gary Tempest who provided me with a cracking PDF with great info and tips re repairing these switches. Not sure if I can post this info.

Norman Raeburn is a true gent, sent me free of charge the exact switch I required, nice to know there are members like this on the forum.
