SWITCH NEEDED!!!

Post by jingle_jangle »

I'm trying to return Len Hruszowy's Combo 400 to him, but first the wiring needed to be sorted out, and upon checking everything with a meter, determined that the switch (some weird old automotive part) has pooped.

There's nothing that I'd like to do better than to fix this thing properly. So I need a switch from a 420, ES-16, ES-17. Combo 1000, or 900 to put it right. Even a switch with bent or corroded contacts would work fine, as I can recondition it. A harness minus pickup with switch attached, would be fine, too.

C'mon you old-timers! Someone must have one!

Len: Hang tight a few more days...I want it to be right.

Sometimes thank you doesn't quite cover what you mean to say. But lacking the proper words I would like to thank Paul and Jason for getting the switch to restore my Combo 400. It is greatly appreciated

It arrived yesterday in a p-funk package. Good humor.

A great example of cooperation between Forum members for a good cause.

This is gonna get Len's 400 back to where it was as new!

Enjoy, Len!
