Johnson Valliant band switch replace

[KR4BR]

Hi everybody , my name is Jerry KR4BR located in west Tennessee, Been off the air for a while, since moving  form Florida . I have a Valliant that I rescued from a CBer many years ago, And it had burned contacts on the band switch. I replaced then a number of times with parts from other switches, using 2-56 screws and nuts. I ended up jumping the switch so I could run 10 meters. I was reading a article by Timtron WA1HLR, where he mentioned a AL-572 or AL-80 switch would work. The question is has anybody done this and does any one Have any details they could pass along? I installed one of the Amertron switches in a fellow hams Dentron  Clipperton -L and it was ten times better. Thanks for any help from Jerry KR4BR

I would venture a guess that Timmy has done this mod. Try emailing him and asking. He doesn't check email all that often, so it may be a week before you get an answer.
