8719 Philippines made. Switch is marked SR-209

 

[unit_399]

I'll check what I've got and let you know

hi superlid.

do you mind giving a few details about what happened to the old switch?
im asking because there is a chance it's repairable, or not actually the culprit.

Checked my parts and no cigar. Every grant I have has the 858pll. Sorry.

I don’t think I have one but I'll check the parts boxes to see.

For uniden in the "vintage" stash this is what I have. I don’t think either of these will help you out.

I believe that some Cobra 25's and 29's use the same switch. Also I believe the 2950 as well. I have to check the other possible switch marking that works. I don't have one or a parts donor.

Cracked right on top behind the shaft, where the detent is for CH 13. I tried repairing it and made it worse.

The switch that is pulled and in your hand, looks like the right switch, if the shaft is the correct length. I am not sure what the markings mean on these switches.

Can the outer plastic be swapped with one from a different switch while keeping the green switch sections the same? I've never taken one apart so I don't know.

The switch is cooked I think. I think there are piles of them sitting in junked radios, just not here.
