Autek Research WM-1 meter Switch needed.

[KneeBiter]

Anybody know where to find a switch like this? On off for wm1 meter. It's a right angle slide switch circuit board mount.

Take one out of a dead mobile rig.

I have several carcasses with switches. I have been turning these PLL02 Mobile rigs into obscure base models using the dead carcass of the base cabinet to transplant them into but retaining the base station controls and switches.

Let me know what type of switch (SPST, DPST, DPDT etc) you need and for postage you can have it.

It's a spst on off slide at a 90 degree angle board mount.

Sorry Kneebiter. The 90 degree mounting is something I don’t have.
I could turn this example into a 90 degree mount by adding buss wire on one set of contacts?

This is kinda what you're looking for...I think. Not the same handle which may be hard to find, but this may work.

Thank you for the offer. I actually have some of those. Was trying to find original type before I go trying to make one like that fit. I thought about the buss wire route but the original has a tab on each side soldered to the board. So when you put pressure on the switch it won't push inward and will be solid. I will come up with something if the original type doesn't manifest itself.

You might be able to take the switch apart and replace the broken piece with a part from the wrong switch? Just bend the metal tabs straight. There shouldn't be a whole lot of pieces inside.

Was my plan come this weekend. Will see how it goes and post back. Thanks for the replies and help.

Well couldn't wait for weekend. Did some Frankenstein and it's in. A little shorter than original but looks way better than no switch and works.
