Yesterday, I received the replacement switch that Bill Mayo is offering for sale - thanks Bill! It installed nicely and works like a charm. This particular switch is a SPDT but fits and works just fine. I have also ordered a switch from the Ace Hardware store in NY. It should be here sometime next w...

Does anyone know who the manufacturer is for the switch in 522384. Anyone who might have one of these switches, I would appreciate a PM telling me what markings exist on that switch. Dusty, Rather PMing you I thought others might be interested in the answer to your question... I removed my switch y...

Thanks - sent PM to ADMIN with request to change username.

Well, I would like to have it be my ham call-sign but it's the initials of my first and middle name plus my last name. Very original, I know...

I find a lot of switches that would (might) work without any major modifications but I can not find a supplier of the switch with a re...

Thanks for all the support guys! I am keeping my options open at this time and waiting to see if I get a reply from SS regarding my request to have this issue bumped up to management. I'm hoping that may get some more interest in solving this problem not only for me but the others who are also waiti...

And the reply I received this morning from SS CS... " Your order number nnnnnnnn is still on backorder. I do not have a due date. I do apologize for the delay. " I know the person replying is only a messenger but my confidence in SS is going down hill quickly. Am going to pursue this issue...

Well I thought I would post the progress (or lack thereof) of my switch problem with my SS 510. I initially placed an order for a new switch back in December of 2008. As of today, I still have NOT recieved that replacement due to what SS Customer Service tells me is a supply problem and that the swi...
