Garey,
Thanks for the advice but I know about Lubriplate on the detent. I wish the previous owner(s) had used it. Unfortunately, when I purchased this receiver a few years ago it was already broken. Except for that minor defect the receiver is in nearly perfect condition. The only other thing it needs is a 6 KHz AM filter to complete it. The next time I have it open I'll take your advice and check the switch to see if it is assembled with screws. I just may have a good "front end" in the junque box, hopefully with a ball bearing detent.

Many are assemble with screws making it an easy swap. I have repaired a couple this way. I don't recall the size of the Function wafers, but they are a standard size. Centralab offered a line of switches in "kit form" for a while that allowed you to assemble switches from various wafers and detent mechanisms. I still see these at hamfests now and then. For those switches that haven't broken yet, a little Lubriplate in the detent mechanism will prevent this. If your switch is hard to turn or snaps loudly, lube it! 73, Garey - K4OAH Atlanta [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Good Morning, > > I need a function switch for my R-4C.
