That is what I would do . joram Member Username: joram Post Number: 59 Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Monday, November 09, 2009 - 3:33 am:    Or you could contact Edwin van Huik in Hilversum, NL: http://www.connectionbult.com/startinfo.html Still abroad, of course, but a lot closer than Santa Rosa! uonra Junior Username: uonra Post Number: 12 Registered: 6-2008 Posted on Monday, November 09, 2009 - 6:49 am:    Thank you.... pauldo Advanced Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 344 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 - 3:20 pm:    Claude, The switch is a Grayhill 4 position switch. You can buy it through Alembic pre-wired, last one I got (I'm on # 3!)was $75 US back in 2005. My 84 Distillate has resistors jumpered into the poles on the bottom. I would strongly recommend the pre-wired switch unless you know someone with mad skills on the soldering iron. dibolosi Member Username: dibolosi Post Number: 74 Registered: 1-2004 Posted on Thursday, November 19, 2009 - 9:40 pm:    I just did this a few weeks ago. I broke my switch, got a new one from Grayhill, determined the resistor values and BOOM, it works. Yet ... eh hmmm .. years as a component level Electronic Repair Technician has given me mad soldering skills. pauldo Advanced Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 347 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Friday, November 20, 2009 - 5:48 pm:    Mad skills are good - wish I had them!
