Turner Plus Three and SideKick parts

[Greg T]

Am I in luck or looking for hen's teeth when I say I need a certain reed switch for a plus three B? Contacts are worn and I can get them to work, but want to replace the switch. I need the one that has a small nylon spacer in a plus three B with the Elec/Relay switch in it. The reed switch in this one has is not like my other plus threes. Anyone know where, if any place, I can get vintage Turner parts?

on the 2 SSK parts I have, none have that type of switch with the plastic part.

Just checked all my parts. Some are plus3 3b SSK and Browning 776. None have the plastic. Wonder if that was a late production?

Is a sidekick 100 the same switch? I haven't had a chance to look at mine to compare it to the pic. If it's the same we can work something out.

 

[ClaimJumper]

Maybe this will do? I'll check the switch tonight or tomorrow night.

I have three other plus threes, plus a parts mic and none of them have this switch. I think this is an early production because my other plus threes don't have the ele/relay switch. Leave it to me to get the oddball!! Thank all you guys for looking! I really appreciate it. The mic is in very nice shape and I just want to get that quick "crunch" sound out when I first key it. I think I'll try a shim between the finger bar and the switch so that it closes the audio just before it keys. That may take the noise out. But if anyone comes up with a switch, I'll buy it!

This is my messenger 100. There doesn't appear to be any plastic pieces on there. Oh well.
