Hi Chris and the others, What you describe is exactly what happend here too. When rotating the function switch one could hear a "scratchy noise" rather than a profound click. I solved it in a different way than you but almost similar. I removed the residu of the old "raised area" and created a new one of the brass on the outer part of the ring. It works fine and if this warns in time before me, I can always go for the silversolder idea ;)
Hope this is informative to others too. 73, Dick PA2DW -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Christopher Kovacs Verzonden: donderdag 27 december 2007 21:10 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Re: [drakelist] R4C function switch Christopher Kovacs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I had a problem with my function switch. It lost it's indent so that you could not feel the indent of where the switch position was located. I ended up taking the switch apart to discover that the brass raised area where the switch passes was worn to the point it was flat and the bass indent was no more. What I did was to file this area to accept silver solder. I melted a small blob which match the missing indent. I re-assembled the switch it it was as good as new. Now I am not sure how long this will last, but it's better than no indent position of the switch; I guess I could always "touch it up". Hope this helps others....
