I picked up an old Comstat 25A for just a few bucks a while ago. it is in pretty good shape but needs some TLC.
It worked okay, received and transmitted etc. before a cap blew! It needs the lamps in the meter replaced The weird problem with it is that the on/off switch in the volume control is stuck "on". The switch itself doesn't snap on or off. It is like there isn't any switch at all but the volume part works okay.. Is it likely that the contacts in the switch fused together? I was wondering if anyone had come across this kind of problem before. Am I likely to find a replacement pot for it these days at Mouser or someplace like that? Here is a pic of the volume on/off control. Any thoughts on the switch?
